I've looked into this and have to say that replacing the "hep.aida.*"
code by FreeHep would change Colt's public interfaces. This means that
we'd also have to patch up all downstream libraries, which is probably
not desirable.
I just tried to contact some original authors using mail addresses I
found on the web, but the sources are ancient :-(. Let's see, if there
is still somebody reading those mails. At least so far the mails
haven't bounced.
I've also tried to contact the person that imported the JAIDA code
into the FreeHep SVN. He should be in possession of the relicensing
(otherwise he couldn't have done the import), maybe he can share it
with us, to see if it is general enough to apply to our problem. If it
is, this might be all we need...
No response from anyone. I can try to get a follow-up with Tony Johnson.
At least he responded the first time to Andreas' mail.
Cheers,
Martin
