As noted above, the license of https://github.com/alibaba/spring-context-support is changed to 'Apache License 2.0'. There are some files copied from spring-context-support to apache dubbo.
How about we add some declaration about this util java files in *LICENSE* file. For some code referenced from netty(Apache License 2.0), we add some declaration in https://github.com/apache/dubbo/blob/master/LICENSE like this : *This product contains a modified portion of 'Netty', an event-driven asynchronous network application framework also under a "Apache License 2.0" license, see https://github.com/netty/netty/blob/4.1/LICENSE.txt <https://github.com/netty/netty/blob/4.1/LICENSE.txt>: * io.netty.util.concurrent.FastThreadLocal * io.netty.util.internal.InternalThreadLocalMap * io.netty.util.Timer * io.netty.util.TimerTask * io.netty.util.Timeout * io.netty.util.HashedWheelTimer* What do you think?
