Arg! In order to submit a patch, isn't it a requirement that all rights of the patch be transferred over to the ASF?
I think we need to consult legal on this, because if the Innovation Center owns a copyright and/or license to the WSS4J code, that is not so good. I would be -1 for accepting a patch that comes with copyrights.

If they request it, yes. They hold the copyright on the material in that patch and, while they license it to us under the Apache License, the Apache License specifically states we need to keep notices intact that the copyright holders request/require. In this case, the submitter has asked that the copyright notice be in the NOTICE. Thus, we need to keep it there.
