We could get a copy of these classes from the Mono project: 4.0 collection classes: https://github.com/mono/mono/tree/master/mcs/class/System/System.Collections .Generic 3.5 collection classes: https://github.com/mono/mono/tree/master/mcs/class/System.Core/System.Collec tions.Generic They are licensed under the MIT/X11 license, which should be compatible with ASF's policy.
