Hello MADlib community,

I am sending this email on behalf of the release manager Satoshi Nagayasu <snaga@uptime.jp> .

We have created a MADlib 1.10 RC-2, with the artifacts below up for a vote.

From project mentor Roman Shaposhnik we heard the ultimate resolution on the IP issue:
   * we don't do anything with existing (BSD) files even if we edit them
   * every new file we create gets an ASF license header
   * more details:
   https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-293?focusedCommentId=15881595&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-15881595
