Thanks - we'll fix it.

I guess you're referring to the 1.0 codebase - I don't think we bundle
that package with JAXB now that it is integrated in the JDK. Kohsuke
changed all of the source code headers - I'll wait for him to chime in...

Yes, we are working on it. We will gradually switch over to CDDL as
quickly as possible - there are a couple technical/logistical issues
that we are working on before the CVS access will be easier. I expect
that we will completely switch over to CDDL by the end of next week
or so.
