In the case of LARQ this is what I did (and moved on with life). """ Apache Jena - LARQ module Copyright 2011 The Apache Software Foundation This product includes software developed at The Apache Software Foundation (http://www.apache.org/). Portions of this software were originally based on the following: - Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, LP - Copyright 2010 Epimorphics Ltd. - Copyright 2010 Talis Information Ltd. - Copyright 2010, 2011 Talis Systems Ltd. """ -- https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/jena/Jena2/LARQ/trunk/NOTICE.txt If this makes lawyers happy, why not? ;-) Thanks for your advice, Paolo
