All code under external/ has a README explaining how it is imported from upstream. In the case of jsr166 there is an explicit IMPORTING file that explains the procedure (there is a sanity script you need to run before importing). Unfortunately there are a couple of files isn't really part of the public domain release. CopyOnWriteArrayList.java is our own (and as such isn't under external/). Cheers, Mark
