Quick question:

I see 4 lines of comments in a java source file that might pertain to copyright:

JTidy - https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/name/jtidy

Particular file is src/org/xml/sax/SAXParseException.java

Maybe this can be classified as effective license = "public domain"?




ps. Thanks so much for your help in 2009.  It resulted in this academic paper:
