The JSR-166 classes available from the JSR-166 website are all prefixed thus: * * Written by Doug Lea with assistance from members of JCP JSR-166 * Expert Group and released to the public domain, as explained at * http://creativecommons.org/licenses/publicdomain */ http://gee.cs.oswego.edu/dl/concurrency-interest/index.html Of course some things need JVM support to work and the current implementations (atomics for example) use the JVM functionality exposed by the sun.misc.Unsafe class. Note: some classes available from the site are not part of JSR-166 (eg some pre-existing collection classes) and these remain copyright Sun.
