[Incubator] Helping out with code/license reviews [SEC=UNOFFICIAL]

[Peter Baumann]

Hi all,

actually, code provenance has long been finished [1,2]. This page [3], just to 
refresh, lists specifically incubation steps - it shows that all steps required 
have been accomplished.
The only item that was under discussion following the OGC Crystal City meeting 
(let me see...this was in March) was to have a build status summary online (for 
security reasons we do not publish the full Jenkins functionality); as this is 
done meantime I had asked for a final inspection earlier.

So from our side we believe we are ready for finalization :) ...but maybe we're 
missing something that has slipped our attention.

cheers,
Peter
