The current Java implementation is GPL! That means that any derived work
would need to be licensed with the same terms. So please, don't "get
inspired" by that code base, don't even llok to it, since we'll have an
intellectual property issue.

If you find any example HDT file that does not parse with either the W3C
Member Submission or the current spec http://www.rdfhdt.org/hdt-internals/
we should contact the authors of the format.

Maybe we can start with that: collecting a set of files for the project
testing.

We're still in the 2nd week of the program. Then the sooner we'd figure out
such things, the better for the results.
