Does someone have a copy of the test kit? Is it under an apache license?
We've got a copy of the Jini Patent Covenant, if the license is Apache
2, there seem to be enough original developers around to verify the
code's provenance (the original authors need to confirm the source code
and its license, they don't have to donate it, grant it etc).
This should be sufficient to rescue it.
It doesn't look like we're able to use the surrogate source
unfortunately, due to provenance. We've got a copy on Jira for
history's sake.
As a minimum we should attempt to preserve the code (even if the license
isn't compatible), if its still available, leaving the door open to
resuscitate it later. Who knows Oracle could have a change of heart.

This was probably my bad. When we did the initial River proposal
to Apache ( http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/RiverProposal ), we should
have included the Jini Technology Lookup, Discovery and Join test kit.
Nigel- the proposal does include "QATests (project formerly on
Jini.org)".
I don't think it included this test kit, but wondered if you remembered.

----------------------------------
Unfortunately neither Jim nor I are at Sun/Oracle now. The code
obviously is available, but I think this Jira was created to get the
grant for it from Sun.
