So we got a bit more information:
"The original
files in question were authored by a person who cannot be
traced
and we have some indication [1] determining applicable
license may not be
possible."
Reading that link (which appears to be scraped from a
mailing list in order to show ads) shows a search for Nobuo
Tamemasa not being successful.
A bit more research makes it look like Nobuo placed code
examples on
www.codeguru.com
* This class (and also SortButtonRenderer) is based
on original code by Nobuo Tamemasa (version
Feedback from the internet indicates the code is "open
source" but does not really have a license and thus is open
only in the sense you can read it, not in the sense you can
add it to your own software.
The best example is from a site that gathered up Nobuo's
examples since they have become "hard to find" on the
internet.
I am going to feed this bit of research back to the CQ
ticket. But I am not really sure if I am helping or hindering,
I would prefer to talk to the JCommon team and see if they
have a bead on this stuff.
