Description
See http://icedtea.classpath.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=157


this was reported in
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk6-dev/2008-April/000044.html

All upstream licenses are included in the third party readme, but individual
copyright holders are missing:

- openjdk/jdk/src/share/classes/java/lang/instrument/package.html
   Copyright 2003 Wily Technology, Inc. License?

- %% This notice is provided with respect to PC/SC Lite for Suse Linux v.
1.1.1,
  which may be included with this software:

  Copyright (c) 1999-2004 David Corcoran
  All rights reserved.
  needs to be Ludovic Rousseau for e.g.
  openjdk/jdk/src/solaris/native/sun/security/smartcardio/MUSCLE/winscard.h

- the Eastman Kodak see below?
- RSA Security Inc. see below?

Some inaccuracies in debian/copyright, should be fixed:
- Sax is said to be public domain in d/c, but Sun claims copyright
  for some of these and licenses under GPL, e.g.
  openjdk/jaxp/src/share/classes/org/xml/sax/HandlerBase.java
  >> in THIRD_PARTY_README as well

- Apache Software Foundation owns copyrights up to 2005

- at least parts of Xerces (and Xalan, but that could be the
  destinction between Xalan J2 and Xalan in d/c) uses
  Apache License 2.0, not just Apache Software license 1.1
  e.g.
openjdk/jaxp/src/share/classes/com/sun/org/apache/xalan/internal/xsltc/compiler/util/VoidType.java
-
jaxp/src/share/classes/com/sun/org/apache/xerces/internal/util/SymbolTable.java
-
openjdk/jaxp/src/share/classes/com/sun/xml/internal/stream/XMLEntityReader.java
  has Portions Copyright Sun Microsystems, Inc. in addition
  to ASF,
-
jaxp/src/share/classes/com/sun/org/apache/xerces/internal/impl/dv/InvalidDatatypeValueException.java
  has a note a la "based on software (c) ... IBM ...", don't know if
  that should be mentioned, some more might have that nearby.
-
openjdk/jdk/src/share/classes/com/sun/org/apache/xml/internal/security/Init.java
  and more like it: some xml security is Apache License 2.0,
  debian/copyright says ASL1.1
- %% This notice is provided with respect to IAIK PKCS Wrapper, which may be
included with this software:
  Copyright (c) 2002 Graz University of Technology. All rights reserved.
  should have sun with portions copyright
  e.g.
openjdk/jdk/src/share/classes/sun/security/pkcs11/wrapper/CK_SSL3_RANDOM_DATA.jav
- openjdk/jdk/src/share/classes/sun/security/krb5/PrincipalName.java
  * Portions Copyright 2000-2006 Sun Microsystems, Inc.  All Rights  Reserved.
  ...
  *  (C) Copyright IBM Corp. 1999 All Rights Reserved.
  *  Copyright 1997 The Open Group Research Institute.  All rights reserved./*
  and some nearby

- This notice is provided with respect to Kerberos, which may be included with
this software:
  * Copyright (C) 1998 by the FundsXpress, INC.
  could be more specific and / or list other copyright holders to the
  krb5 stuff, fundsxpress seems to own only one (?) file.
