Description Ruth Lee CLA 2008-04-28 10:57:58 EDT
The automated scan has found that several COSMOS plugins are missing their about.html files. They need to be added in. 

There are two types of COSMOS plug-ins:
1. Those that contain only .java files, written by COSMOS developers, that are licensed under the EPL.
2. Those that contain work that is not licensed under the EPL (such as Apache), or special conditions such as disassembler code, cryptography, etc. 

Plug-ins that fall in the first category should have an about.html file added as per the standard About file template: http://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl/about.php

Plug-ins that fall into the second category require special about.html files. I will provide a copy of these files. Please provide to me a list of the plug-ins that require special about.html files.

We cannot Release or Graduate COSMOS without these legal files in place.

Comment 8 John Devine CLA 2008-10-31 14:26:25 EDT
Ruth, does the "Missing_About_html" spreadsheet attached to this bug accurately reflect which HTMLs are missing?  

Should we use http://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl/about.php as the template?

Hi John,

I haven't looked at the file, but it should now be obsolete now that I've checked in the special about files. In the next build, we should get a new report that identifies which plug-ins are missing about files. 

Thanks,
Ruth.
Comment 10 Ruth Lee CLA 2008-11-04 23:04:21 EST
note that so far I have checked in the changes to just the 1.0.0 branch. 
Comment 11 Ruth Lee CLA 2008-11-04 23:13:25 EST
argh. I can't get the about files to commit to CVS. I'll ask for help tomorrow. 
Comment 13 Ruth Lee CLA 2008-11-06 17:49:14 EST
Changes checked into the 1.0 branch and HEAD.

As of TPTP 4.6.0, TPTP is in maintenance mode and focusing on improving quality by resolving relevant enhancements/defects and increasing test coverage through test creation, automation, Build Verification Tests (BVTs), and expanded run-time execution. As part of the TPTP Bugzilla housecleaning process (see http://wiki.eclipse.org/Bugzilla_Housecleaning_Processes), this enhancement/defect is verified/closed by the Project Lead since this originator of this enhancement/defect has an inactive Bugzilla account and considered to be fixed. If this enhancement/defect is still unresolved and reproducible in the latest TPTP release (http://www.eclipse.org/tptp/home/downloads/), please re-open.
