Donald Woods commented on VALIDATOR-274:
----------------------------------------

It's kind of a grey area (some people still believe we should use the Specs 
as-is and not duplicate any of them), but what we have followed for the other 
Java EE Specs in Geronimo with prior discussions with the ASF Legal (which can 
always change), is that:
1) The API (and any Impl code) must be created/typed in from scratch, which 
means no cut-n-paste of text from RI files or Spec doc (which is covered by 
Copyright.)  You can read the public Spec docs and then recreate the package 
structure and type in the method signatures verbatim.
2) NO Java Doc can be included from the RI or Spec Doc AS-IS (as it is covered 
by Copyright), but any IDE auto-generated headers, block elements, method 
comments and Java Doc (like can be created via Eclipse) can be included.
