Description

When building netbeans master with the default invocation `ant`, you get a netbeans directory, that holds GPL-2-CP artifacts - from the license file:

extra/modules/ext/javafx-base-11-linux.jar                            GPL-2-CP
extra/modules/ext/javafx-base-11-mac.jar                              GPL-2-CP

extra/modules/ext/javafx-web-11-mac.jar                               GPL-2-CP
extra/modules/ext/javafx-web-11-win.jar                               GPL-2-CP

I suspect this was introduced by this PR:
https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans/pull/917

A comment regarding the problem remained unanswered.

GPL-2-CP is (not yet?) cleared for inclusion by the ASF:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-336
Either lawyers from oracle (as the copyright holder of the JDK/JavaFX) come up and work with the ASF to fix this or the files have to removed at this point.
