> without any additional context, it's hard to figure out what we're talking about or why. The site for Findbugs itself only ever talks about its own license, which is LGPL.
> I think what we're getting at is that we use the fully qualified SupressWarnings instead of the newer SuppressFBWarnings because we rely on the [cleanroom ASL reimplementation of findbugs annotations|https://github.com/stephenc/findbugs-annotations].
> We should clarify that and provide some links.
