Stefano Bagnara commented on MIME4J-109:
----------------------------------------
The best practice is "to not port code between incompatible licenses" :-(
You probably shouldn't have looked at incompatible licensed source code before
implementing it. From my understanding even if you refactor every single line
your work will be a derivative work and so will have to respect their license.
You should forget what you saw in javamail source code and implement from
scratch by just reading the RFC.
I'm sorry for this, but we do this to make sure our users receive what they are
looking for (Apache licensed code with no side-effects).
