X509NameTokenizer.java

[George Stanchev <Gs...@serena.com>]

Hi,
 
Right under 
 
wss4j\trunk\src\org\apache\ws\security\components\crypto
 
there is a file: X509NameTokenizer.java
 
The license on the top is:
 
/*

 * Thus:

 */
 
This comment and the fact has been lifted from a project with a
different
license and having IP issues (they implement some encryption algorithm
that
is still patented in some countries) is giving me problems. Besides,
looking
at it, it is very rudimentary. It does not conform to 2253 very closely,
just
roughly.
 
XML-Security contains an RFC2253 parser which looks much much better and
is 
under compatible license.
 
How about if we lift it and use it in WSS4J which will eliminate
licensing
issues and will improve parsing correctness?
 
Best Regards,
George
