Hi,

so far I have agreement from:
  Cees (works now for Ebay at marktplaats.nl),
  Alex (reachable via gmail),
  Bryan Thompson (huge thanks for contacts  for other developers)
  and Kevin Day.

I did not finished code audit yet, but I think it covers all base (I
need permissions for JDBM 1.0).

Only remaining file is LongKeyChainedHashMap by Soren Bak from PCJ
project under LGPL
http://jdbm2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/src/main/jdbm/helper/LongKeyChainedHashMap.java

I will keep trying to reach Soren,
there is also replacement based on HashMap from Apache Harmony project.

Regards,
Jan
