Andreas Neumann commented on TWILL-28:
--------------------------------------

Twill does not explicitly contain cryptographic code, but 

* It uses java.util.UUID.randomUUID() to generate random ids. This method uses 
"a cryptographically strong pseudo random number generator." Since it is part 
of Java, I assume that is nothing to worry about.
* It uses Hadoop, which uses encryption. The only thing twill does here is 
store delegation tokens on HDFS and read them back.
 
So is there anything to do for this? Do I need to add Twill to the export list 
at http://www.apache.org/licenses/exports/ ? Do we need to include a crypto 
notice in our README? It is not clear to me after reading the document.
