Hi Mike, Be careful of the findbugs annotations. While there are other projects that are indeed ALv2, it appears the canonical repo has this as LGPL [2]. Not sure if this is needed, but could be complicating in terms of the binary assemblies we would create.
There is a cleanroom implementation [1], but not sure how this would fit into the intent of what you are trying to do. Could you share some context of how you would be incorporating that source and/or library? Be sure to also consider all dependencies any target library would be incorporating.
