Thanks Chris and Paul for helping. According to Shindig javadoc, the
ImageUtils.getSacledInstance() method was adapted from this article
http://today.java.net/pub/a/today/2007/04/03/perils-of-image-
getscaledinstance.html and it looks like the code is LGPL? if so could we
reference org.jdesktop.swingx.graphics.GraphicsUtilities#createThumbnail
to provide dual license like Chris mentioned? Could you please take a
look?
Thanks much!

* Convenience method that returns a scaled instance of the

* NOTE: Adapted from code at

getscaledinstance.html
*
* @param img the original image to be scaled
* @param targetWidth the desired width of the scaled instance,
* in pixels
* @param targetHeight the desired height of the scaled instance,
* in pixels
* @param hint one of the rendering hints that corresponds to
* {...@code RenderingHints.KEY_INTERPOLATION} (e.g.
* {...@code RenderingHints.VALUE_INTERPOLATION_NEAREST_NEIGHBOR},
* {...@code RenderingHints.VALUE_INTERPOLATION_BILINEAR},
* {...@code RenderingHints.VALUE_INTERPOLATION_BICUBIC})
* @param higherQuality if true, this method will use a multi-step
* scaling technique that provides higher quality than the usual
* one-step technique (only useful in downscaling cases, where
* {...@code targetWidth} or {...@code targetHeight} is
* smaller than the original dimensions, and generally only when
* the {...@code BILINEAR} hint is specified)
* @return a scaled version of the original {...@code BufferedImage}

Subject: Re: Is ImageUtils.getSacledInstance() LGPL license?
org.jdesktop.swingx.graphics.GraphicsUtilities#createThumbnail is very
similar and is LGPL/BSD.
GraphicsUtilities is referenced in the article and can still be found
here:

Thanks,
