Some suggested code for POI

[David Thielen <da...@windward.net>]

Hi;

 

Attached is some code for POI that I think should be added to it. One
warning, I am ex-Microsoft (senior developer in the Windows group, not
Office) so you have all the concerns about my not being able to make use of
internal knowledge. But the attached code makes no use of the Excel file
spec.

 

Thanks - dave

A couple notes:

1. Wrong list for this.
2. I¹d be reluctant to accept code from you unless you could assure me that
you never saw any internal information and even then I¹d probably ask you to
sign a CLA. http://www.apache.org/licenses/icla.txt

Its nothing personal just a lot of folks have invested a lot of work into
POI and it would be tragic if your former employer had a good argument.
We¹ve always operated the project under the assumption that they WOULD come
after us one day from its inception (well almost...its code name was OLE2FS
;-) but we changed it before releasing it ;-) )
