CoolServlets code
Hey guys,
It's great to see that the project is under active development again. It has
a lot of potential to be really cool.
However, one thing that slightly disturbs us is that the Alexandria code has
been in violation of our CoolServlets license since almost the inception of
the project. We discussed this with Kevin quite some time ago, but it looks
like nobody bothered to fix the problem. CodeTransform.java is a hacked up
version of our code formatting class (CodeViewer.java). See the license for
our code at the bottom of this message.
For the curious, our original code can be found in such interesting places
as the Swing demo that comes with JDK 1.3. Even Sun is decent enough to
leave the license in the source file. Isn't an Apache project willing to
extend the same courtesy? :)
Thanks,
Matt

Honestly, we're not riled at all, but just want to see it get fixed. :)
However, we did bring up the issue with Kevin almost a year ago and he had
promised to get it resolved promptly then.
Thanks for your help,

I don't think it was our intention to not follow your license, but as we all
know, Kevin seems to be fairly sporadic and I think the ball got dropped.
So, please refrain from being overly harsh and accept the fact that it was
simply a dropped ball on our part.
It is a strong policy of ours to carefully follow licenses as best as
possible.
Thank you for picking the ball up and throwing it again. This will get
resolved.
thanks,
-jon
