Yes. That was the main reason. IPL for engine (historically), LGPL
for drivers (at lease JayBird :))

Pick any .java file and get the header from it.

Ok, then go ahead and commit your code to CVS.

Not only mine. First of all David Jencks', as the project leader, and
Blas' as a driver guru too. :) But I think there will be no
objections.

Clean-up does not mean refactoring. I will remove most (or all)
deprecation warnings. Also I will check if there are big chunks of
commented code.

Ok.
