[picocontainer-dev] Pico Integration in Struts 2

i all,

I discovered that pico intergration did not made it
into actual struts 2 codebase ( from WW ) due to
unclear licensing  issues ( apache folks are not sure
whether  nanocontainer org is a legal entity etc. ) 

What is our policy on this?   I attached one email
from the discussion on S2 list. 

AFAIR, code was donated to webwork with copyright
headers verbatim, but legal dept of apache.org is
unhappy   with this, and would need some more
clarification from the original developers. 

WDYT?

regards,

From the S2 list:
---------------------------------

So...it should be resubmitted without copyright
headers, which have been 
moved to the NOTICE file?  The other question is who
exactly is the 
copyright owner?  The headers say the NanoContainer
Organization, but is 
that really a legal entity?
