I want to add the fact that I'm investigating about the IPR for the
Base64OutputStream I introduced in the codebase some weeks ago.

The fact is that the package I used to get the Base64OutputStream has a
NOTICE including:
-------------
Portions of this software were originally based on the following:
- software copyright (c) 2000-2006, Oracle Corp,
<http://www.oracle.com/>. and are licensed to the Apache Software
Foundation under the "Software Grant and Corporate Contribution License
Agreement"
-------------
I didn't recognized this when I took the code at first, my bad!
I believe Base64OutputStream was not part of the Oracle contribution,
but it's not clear yet. I hope MyFaces PMC will reply soon about this
and will confirm that we are ok with that.
Not sure if, in case of a negative response, this should be a blocker or
not.
Stefano
Why should this be a blocker as the notice clearly states ASF should
have a grant and a CCLA covering that code?

I don't know, don't ask me legal questions. I know I am supposted to
copy the NOTICE content when I take something from an ALv2 licensed
artifact. I didn't do this, so I'm in defect here and I'm trying to
understand if in this specific case we are fine.
On legal-discuss they suggested me to deal with MyFaces team to have an
answer on this and I did that.
I'll put my +1 once I verified this and I wanted to share this ongoing
effort with you. If 3 PMC members are comfortable in releasing with this
"open" issue this is up to each individual understanding of that NOTICE
sentence.
I'm sorry for that, but I'm still learning all of this policy-related
and legal-related stuff.
