THIS IS A TEST INSTANCE. ALL YOUR CHANGES WILL BE LOST!!!!
As part of incubation, we need to make sure that code imported to Apache Taverna has:
- Clean Intellectual Property rights (e.g. covered by the Software Grant from University of Manchester).
- Dependencies that use a compatible license.
- An Apache Software foundation (ASF) license header on all "our" files.
- All externally sourced files (that are in the git repository/release archive) of a compatible license and mentioned in LICENSE and/or NOTICE as required).
- A DISCLAIMER file, while we're in the incubator.
Repositories are listed on https://taverna.incubator.apache.org/download/code/.
Terminology:
- SG: Software Grant from The University of Manchester (filed 2015-02-23 by secretary@apache.org)
- PR: GitHub Pull Requests (which would anyway be covered by Apache License section 5, but we ask for ICLA for 'larger' contributions, e.g. new code base)
- ICLA: Individual Contributor License Agreement (ICLA) filed with ASF.
(note: all committers also have ICLAs on file - here "ICLA" means contributed by a non-committer (at the time) - IP: Intellectual Property
Checking with Maven
mvn apache-rat:check is used by the release process and should fail if license headers are missing. It will generate files (i.e., target/rat.txt) at the top of the repository and within each built submodule as well.
Example of failing rat check:
stain@biggiebuntu:~/src/taverna/incubator-taverna-server$ mvn apache-rat:check [INFO] Scanning for projects... ... [INFO] Rat check: Summary of files. Unapproved: 5 unknown: 5 generated: 0 approved: 1 licence. [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Reactor Summary: [INFO] [INFO] Apache Taverna Server .............................. FAILURE [ 0.819 s] .. [ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.rat:apache-rat-plugin:0.11:check (default-cli) on project apache-taverna-server: Too many files with unapproved license: 5 See RAT report in: /home/stain/src/taverna/incubator-taverna-server/target/rat.txt -> [Help 1]
Where target/rat.txt shows:
Files with Apache License headers will be marked AL Binary files (which do not require AL headers) will be marked B Compressed archives will be marked A Notices, licenses etc will be marked N !????? src/clients/tcl/taverna2server.tcl B src/main/signing/signing.jks N release-notes.txt B usage.pdf AL pom.xml N NOTICE !????? tomcatcontext.xsd !????? context.sample.xml N DISCLAIMER B install.pdf !????? CITATION B usage.docx !????? .opf.yml N LICENSE B install.docx
Action Required
Add required file headers (see below) to Java, XML files, etc.
Some 'magic' files or README-style files (E.g. CITATION here) can't have file comments. They need to be checked manually, e.g. with git log --follow and opened in the corresponding program (e.g. Microsoft Word for usage.docx above). If the file is OK, then add it as an exclusion with a justification comment to the pom.xml for the apache-rat-plugin plugin. See taverna language's RAT excludes for an example.
For W3C files, and others that are not 'ours' (i.e., not contributed to ASF), (1) find the file's origin, (2) check its license, and (3) add it to the end of the LICENSE and (in some cases) NOTICE files at the top of the repository. See for example taverna-language LICENSE.
File headers
University of Manchester (Software Grant)
© University of Manchester LGPL file headers like the one below must be replaced with the standard ASF file header.
These files are covered by the Software Grant, which permits relicensing to Apache License 2.0.
NOTE: If you find a © that does NOT mention University of Manchester, or has a different license, then discuss on the list (or list it on this wiki page).

ASF headers
The correct ASF header should be something like the Java, XML, JSON, and YAML, Python, Ruby, and shell script examples below.
Java
For Java - make sure you use /* */ rather than /** */ to avoid accidentally generating Javadoc. For some reason common practice is to have the {{package org.apache.taverna.*}} line above the file "header".
package org.apache.taverna.....;

JSON
JSON does not support comments, but generally these one-liners should work (e.g. in schema.json) if the JSON starts with {
