Sorry for the same message again... I had problems with subscribing to the dev mailing list and I didn't checked the list in the webbrowser for any feedback on this case. If there are already some changes I will just wait a little bit. And yes, maybe I will contribute myself sometimes in the future if time allows.

This is just my opinion but if these issues are really important to your company, then you could contribute patches yourselves. Apache POI is a volunteer project.

We found two problems, which may can be resolved somehow: 1. org/apache/poi/sl/draw/BitmapImageRenderer.java * Method: readImage * There is a comment with a stackoverflow link and there are several lines of code which are completely equal with the suggested solution from stackoverflow * Problem: Code on Stackoverflow is published under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International Public License, which is kind of a problem * Solution: remove the stackoverflow link and maybe rewrite the code a little bit? 2. org/apache/poi/util/StringCodepointsIterable.java * The file/class is basically a copy of https://gist.github.com/EmmanuelOga/48df70b27ead4d80234b which is also mentioned in the comment above the class declaration * Problem: There is no license, copyright, etc. for this code which is technically a violation of the copyright * Solution: ?? If I am wrong somehow, please correct me. But my colleague who detected these findings has many years of consulting experience in open source compliance.
