Is that the license of the original implementation as well? What does
Yes. http://gee.cs.oswego.edu/dl/classes/EDU/oswego/cs/dl/util/concurrent/intro.html under "Notes" says: "All classes are released to the public domain and may be used for any purpose whatsoever without permission or acknowledgment." > a public domain license mean for apache? It means you can use them, just like many other projects (some also at Apache) already do. Use the new library instead of the old one since it contains some small (and some not so small) changes in line with 1.5's util.concurrent. In fact the library already contains important fixes for bugs in 1.5 and changes in line with Mustang.
