The comment on the change is:
The code in question was never in Struts

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
   * POI legal issue (in bugzilla) - A POI contributor had submitted a Bugzilla 
entry that was based on documentation on a website that should not have legally 
been there. The attached files were removed by the admin and a suitable comment 
inserted. This legally issue is effectively closed as it's a big grey legal 
tightrope and all that's left to see is if the pain has put the contributor off 
of contributing again.
  
-  * BeanUtils legal issue (in code) - Sam Ruby raised a concern over code in 
Commons BeanUtils described in the code as "Package private support methods 
(copied from java.beans.Introspector)", ie) were we legally covered. 
[http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=36445]. Based on the bug 
entry, Niall Pemberton rewrote the code in question (he was not party to the 
conversation on pmc@ though), which may or may not be enough. One of the 
problems with this issue is that it's not been possible to identify the source 
of the code, it appears to have turned up between the code leaving Struts and 
entering Commons for the first time. So unsure if this is covered by Sun's 
CCLA. The issue is still open.

   * HttpClient renaming query - Commons HttpClient is seeking to move from 
Commons to a full Jakarta subproject. They're had their own mailing lists for a 
long time and this is something we should have done a long time ago. The name 
'Jakarta Http' was raised and disapproval quickly voiced by other projects with 
whom it would cause confusion. Expect more on this in the next report.
