FWIW, the IDEA patent expires on 25-05-2010. I think Geronmio's
solution
was a sound one, and can be easily followed by other Java projects
in the
incubator. Were there concerns about using this specific fork?
I wasn't involved in the forking of the code. However, it is my
understanding that we only forked the bare minimum function
(ASN1.codec) that Geronimo required. So, very likely that our code
would not suit the needs of other projects.
