Sorry, this situation is a little confusing. The two files were originally developed by Mitre under the very restrictive Cat-X license. We requested that those files be open sourced for inclusion in the Daffodil test suite and the files went through Mitre's process for approval. None of us really understood the importance of licenses at the time, but the intention was that that files would be licensed the same as the rest of Daffodil--the University of Illinois/NCSA license, which is Cat-A.
But due all or our inexperience with open source and licensing, changing the license header never happened. So the files were intended to be UoI/NCSA, but were mislabeled as Cat-X. Regardless if it's UoI/NCSA or Cat-X, we would still need an SGA from Mitre to relicense to Apache v2, which is more work than it's worth for these two files, so we planned to just remove them for the next release. Semi-related, this same mistake happened to a lot of DFDL schemas that Mitre created and and subsequently open sourced and put on github (unrelated to ASF) [1][2][3]. We're in talks to get them to fix those as well. - Steve [1] https://github.com/DFDLSchemas/GIF/ [2] https://github.com/DFDLSchemas/PNG/ [3] https://github.com/DFDLSchemas/JPEG/ On 05/10/2018 02:39 PM, John D.
