   > > Hi there,
   > > First I'd like to thank you for your time in preparing this PR. I was 
able to give this a glance over and there's a few main things that I want to 
point out.
   > > 
   > > 1. There are new classes added that needs to be licensed under the 
Apache license for Apache to accept the code. If you have permission from the 
original author to re-license the code under the [Apache 
License](https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0), then the Apache license 
headers needs to be added. Otherwise we cannot accept the Pr unfortunately.
   > > 2. This PR adds maintenance support for code going back as Android 3.0 
(API 11). Cordova only supports API >= 22 and adding conditional logic to 
support anything less adds unnecessary complexity. I would like to see this 
simplified by removing any extra code required to support APIs < 22.

some time. Hope you understand.
   
   To hopefully save you some time, I think it would be best to analyse and see 
if you can fulfil the original requirements to solve 
https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-inappbrowser/issues/320 without using 
the code by Cristian Perez. The original code appears to be licensed under MIT, 
and while that may allow you to copy the code for your own use, all code 
submitted to Apache needs to be licensed under the Apache license. So either 
the code By Christian needs to be removed, or we need obtain written permission 
to be able to license that code under Apache. If this cannot be done, then we 
should close this PR.
