You must also ensure that the codes which you might want to use for port is explicitly licensed as "public domain". The conditions are a little more relaxed but it is important to note that not all free/libre OSS can be included in an Apache project: https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#category-x [The point is relatively moot if you find a scientific paper that explicitly shows the code/pseudo-code.] Also, for only generating a sequence of reference values (see the unit tests in the "commons-rng-core" module), the code need not be Apache-compatible. [But then, the port *must* be implemented "from scratch", i.e. there must be reference to a paper that describe (not necessarily in code) everything necessary for producing the correct output.] Regards, Gilles > > > I have already used maven to build the project.
