I should have put more info in the log messages although it is all there if you dig through the svn history. The files in trunk (and therefore 6.0.x) were copied (but not using svn cp) from /servletapi/servlet2.4-jsp2.0-tc5.x/ The history of the files in /servletapi/servlet2.4-jsp2.0-tc5.x/ shows that they were first committed by a Sun employees (kinman), patches provided by a second Sun employee (Mark Roth) and the AL2 license added by a third (Jean-Francois). This took place over a period of 18 months. I therefore concluded that the files were committed with Sun's knowledge and consent and therefore came under kinman's and Jean-Francois' CLA which means the Sun license just shouldn't be there. I accept there is a small assumption on my part here. I will explicitly forward this e-mail to Jean-Francois and ask for confirmation (to the dev list) that the Sun text can be removed. Assuming he confirms this, I'll include a link to his message in the 6.0.x commit. If for some reason we can't remove the text then we can always fall back to using the Geronimo ones or the CDDL ones.
