HELP NEEDED to change OFBiz license to Apache

[Jacopo Cappellato]

Hi all,

the gathering of iCLAs from past and present contributors is mostly
completed now: we are waiting for the last three ones, that hopefully
will be sent soon.

It is time to start to deal with the license change for all the OFBiz's
files.

Help is needed here:
we have to put the Apache License header at the top of each and every
file in OFBiz (binary files excluded); the license headers for all the
types of files (xml, java, ftl, properties, bsh, html) are in
ofbiz/APACHE2_HEADER; these headers should replace the existing MIT
headers (if they are present).
Regexp, search&replace tools, perl scripts, etc... are all good, if you
are an expert and are willing to help, just drop a note and then, when
the work is completed, just send us a few patches (maybe one for the
applications and one for the framework).

In the attached file you'll find some tools (in perl, python and java)
downloaded from the Apache site to migrate source files headers from the
Apache License 1.1 to Apache License 2.0... maybe they could be a good
starting point.

PLEASE HELP,

Jacopo

Hi Jacopo

Like I've said previously I'm happy to help with this, if it's ok with you
I'll start with the applications folder?  One question though, what do i do
with these lines:

Old Headers:
 * @author     David E. Jones ([hidden email])
 * @author     Andy Zeneski ([hidden email])
 * @author     Si Chen ([hidden email])
 * @version    $Rev: 418498 $

New Headers:
 * $Id: $

Do the author lines remain in place? And what goes on the $Id tags?

Regards
Scott

Hi Jacopo,
 
 I applied for iCLA.It has been accepted by Apache Group.
 I am also doing my work in ofbiz.
 You can view my name on the following list: http://people.apache.org/~jim/committers.html#unlistedclas
 I am also interested in this work of migration.
 Will you assign me work or i will tell you about my interested component.
 How could it be possible for me to introduce my name in your's list of collected iCLAs???
 
 Thanks

Also, there seem to be a couple of xml tags here and there like
<vendor>,<copyright> and <owner>, should these also be deleted?

The ASF board recommendation is to remove individual authors tag but
it's up to the PMC to make the decision (to use author tags or not).

See http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xml-cocoon-dev&m=107788069123268&w=2
for some more infomationan.

Hi, it's good that you're willing to help out!

However, commit priviledges in most ASF (and most open source projects
in general), are given, not requested.  The committer role is
described here:

http://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html#roles

Usually, what happens, is someone contributes to the project (via
patches, tickets, documentation, etc..) for a while, until the other
committers feel comfortable with letting that person have access to
the repository.

If you just want to help out... then you don't need an iCLA, just send
in your patches to the ticket system (JIRA)!

I'd prefer to remove all the existing @authors tags, in fact the
"authors" of a file are determined by the svn log history.
I'd also remove all the @version and $rev tags as well... but maybe we
should start a vote on this subject.

Hi Scott,

and thanks for your help: starting with the application folders is fine,
just keep in mind that some files are already converted (e.g. the
manufacturing component).
Please see my comments below:

We will probably vote on this; however there is nothing special in the
$Id tag: simply copy the license header file ($Id tag included) at the
top of the files.

Ashish,

I've added your name to the list of persons with an iCLa on file in the
OFBiz page.
About the work on license migration... maybe you could coordinate with
Scott? I think he will start working on the application folder, so you
could help him there or work on some components from the framework...

Thanks,

Jacopo

however would like to include these, just under the module line, in all
files.
This is used by code to see if the release number will be supported by
all code.
        public static final String major_version = "1.";
        public static final String minor_version = "0.1.2";
        public static final String sinceofbizversion = "3.2";
        public static final String maxsupportedofbizversion = "3.2";

This is interesting and I agree with Christian.
I'd like to start a discussion (and after it probably also a vote) on
this subject: "remove individual @author tag from source files".
