5 Check the source file headers

How does a reviewer know if a source file has been submitted directly to the ASF?

Code developed at the ASF

The ASF Source Headers web page details how to handle source file headers for code developed at the ASF. In short, the copyright must be removed (see requirements) and files should have the ASF license header text added to the header.

Specifically, check that each file has the ASF license header text and no copyright.

Third-party files

Files used by the project, but not submitted by their owners directly to the ASF, are treated differently. Copyright notices stay in the header, and associated licenses must be part of the distribution.

Specifically, check that each file has a license (question) and that the license is allowedTO DO Add information and links.
