It was easier to change the license to Apache-1.1 than to contact HP Legal for a code created in 2003 at HP Bristol.

93
+ I had a discussion with [ Juancarlo] ( https://bitbucket.org/apalala/ ) and Brian McBride.
94
+ Brian worked for HPLabs in Bristol (UK) at that time. His authorship appears in three files:

+
96
+ - https://github.com/apache/wicket/blob/master/wicket-util/src/main/java/org/apache/wicket/util/diff/DiffAlgorithm.java
97
+ - https://github.com/apache/wicket/blob/master/wicket-util/src/main/java/org/apache/wicket/util/diff/Revision.java

+ All other files at JRCS are (according to Juancarlo) 100% authored by Juancarlo in a cleanroom way.
101
+
102
+ Since Brian pointed me to HP and I do not want to fight with HP, I agreed with Juancarlo to change the license of the JRCS files to Apache-1.1.
103

104
+ The alternative is to find out which code was written by Brian and to replace this code by some other clean room developed code.
You can’t perform that action at this time.
