I'm perfectly fine with no code coming back my way, I expected as
such. Really my only concern is that the code ends up rejected for
putback because someone perceived some NDA violation or another, which
would be very unfortunate. I'm not privy to the precise legal
encumberences with the code, so I really have no way of know what is
or is not kosher.

If just having access to the i18n code rules out mentors, then you have
to rule out everyone with access to SWAN, as that code is posted in
places where anyone on SWAN can find it.
I would argue that as long as the mentor is not providing code back to
the student, then there shouldn't be any problems. Ideally, there would
be zero reference to Sun code. If you can live with that restriction
then I can mentor. Otherwise I cannot, since I'm now on "the inside". :-)
