John Sisson commented on GERONIMO-1761: --------------------------------------- I agree we should be giving credit. AFAIK, the standard way is to use the NOTICE.txt file. The geronimo-util module doesn't contain any crypto implementations, it is just an abstraction layer for crypto implementations. I don't think crypto is a good name for it considering the other stuff it contains such as: * An encoders package (e.g. Base64) that are used by the remoteDeployUtil and the KeyStoreGBean. * An ASN.1 package that is used by the KeyStoreGBean and AFAIK, OpenEJB uses some classes in some corba support (X509 names).

Speculation is that > it's the non-encumbered code from bouncycastle. It should be in a more > accurately named module and package, since it's not just generic "util" code. > It would also be nice to put a note in every file header saying where it's > from, or at least in NOTICE.txt perhaps.
