[Incubator] MOTION: GeoNode Graduation from OSGeo Incubation

[Jody Garnett]

Since the provenance review was empty I thought I would hit the code
base....

The docs (http://docs.geonode.org/en/latest/index.html)  end up with "©
Copyright 2015, GeoNode Development Team. Revision a5dc49f3" in the footer
(ie they do not indicate they are CCbyA). May be able to update footer in
https://github.com/GeoNode/geonode/blob/master/docs/conf.py

Doing spot checks on source code - amusing history updating headers -
thanks Daniel Berry for his own personal edit war. I found a Copyright (C)
2010 David Winslow (not sure if you care).

The "django.po" files have some boiler plate - "# SOME DESCRIPTIVE TITLE.,
Copyright (C) YEAR THE PACKAGE'S COPYRIGHT HOLDER, This file is distributed
under the same license as the PACKAGE package."
