The license today is the Apache v1 license minus the attribution clause. =
(I always felt that was imposing, and that was before I knew the hazards =
of open source license proliferation.)

It's in my github repo and I own jdom.org <http://jdom.org/>. I have no =
objections to it finding a happy home. It's a 21 year old project at =
this point. It's Brett and I that have kept the copyright, although we =
didn't do formal contributor agreements. Rolf wrote a good chunk of =
JDOM2.
