The source code in question is CPL licensed. The student (properly) left the file under the CPL license. So, the source files do not contain an Apache source license header. A Geronimo release review flagged the files as a potential problem. Once we identified the licensing issue, the source was backtracked from Geronimo to Tomcat and then to BCEL... --kevan
