As you might have read in the previous mail I did remove some code which has no clean IP provenance. The code seems to have been taken from the Spring project. Although it is ALv2 and so the license is fine we still don't own the copyright and there was no IP check done for this code.
This all would be resolvable by going into the Spring SCM history, check who wrote the code parts and patches, make sure it was not e.g. taken from a GPL source, etc. After that we would need to ask Spring for a code grant. All this is doable but a certain amount of work. And thus I really suggest to do this only if we really need that code. 1.) do we really need those code parts? Do we need most of the spring-ant integration? What for? 2.) Wouldn't it be easier to write the functionality ourselves and be able to only implement the pieces we really need? Currently all we need is ClassLoader.getResources() and be done. Thus please VOTE on A.) Go through the IP clearing and try to get the rights for the Spring code B.) Simply write those pieces ourselves. It's no rocket science, really! +1 for B from me. LieGrue, strub
