Ideally I would chain that job behind a sucessful build, so that this
does not happen
iow first fidn a 'good' commit, then submit the job....
but before that happen, the msot usefull way would be I think to just

that time

appropriate open-source license statement at the to of the script.
and prolly the best is to find a place for it in 'buildbot.git'
(accessble via gerrit)
