Hi Tony,
Thanks for taking a look at my package so quickly.

What worried me about this package were not the .java files without
copyright notice but all those .dtd, .xml and .mod files but fortunately
they are licensed under a free enough license.
What I could understand from the documentation was all source code
is licensed under LGPL-2.1 except some files bundled from
another projects (e.g. .css test files). Their LICENSE file states:
"All source code to Flying Saucer itself is licensed under the
GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL); you can redistribute
it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public
License as published by the Free Software Foundation, either version
2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version."

I guess I can contact Joshua and ask about this.
Though they don't release frequently, it seems to be some activity on
upstream mailing lists.
