First, is the original tutorial under Apache license? If so, it's ok to copy and modify (section 2 in http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0). If it was copied from a web page tutorial that doesn't explicitly say anything about the license or copyrights, it's generally not ok. Second, let's be conservative about adding examples. It may be warranted in this case but showcasing all the use cases of Shiro can quickly lead to unmaintainable level of various examples. Every line of code we add also needs to be maintained. Kalle
