License question
Hi guys,
I've question regarding licensing.
For a side open source project(PrimeFaces), I needed access to package
private StateWriter class and as a hack I added com.sun.facelets
package to the project. That way I got the access for that class.
Does anyone see a legal issue here?
Btw Facelets is CDDL afaik and PrimeFaces is Apache V2.
Thanks,
Cagatay

Hmm. Don't think it's _that_ easy.
For instance the "java." and "javax." namespaces are reserved and must
not be used by any (official) product that does not implement the
regarding JCR.
However. I am not a lawer and I have no idea if that also applies to
"hacks" and I do not know if there is a precendent about using a
foreign reserved domain name as java namespace.
My feeling is, that it is ok for the hack. But I'm not totally sure.

no, why ?
you just fake the package in order to get more "to see"

jupp, we can base our stuff on it.
In fact Trinidad and Tobago do so (take a look at their *facelets* packages)
