Re: [ee4j-community] Use of javax.* in new EE4J projects
Yes, that is also how another case of repackaging of a JSR looks like.

Look at sources in java.time (previously javax.time, before it got merged into the JDK codebase)
a little hidden under the default Oracle header is

> Copyright (c) 2007-2012, Stephen Colebourne & Michael Nascimento Santos
and a BSD 3-clause license.

So even if say something was repackaged some day from javax.* the history and license/copyright headers the sources now have will have to be preserved.

Another way to put this, is there is no reason to "remove Oracle
copyright". All Eclipse Foundation projects are made available under
open source licenses, but the copyright remains owned by the authors or
their employers.

People sometimes mistakenly think that open sourcing a piece of code
requires removing the owners' copyright. That is simply incorrect. So if
JCache wanted to move to EE4J there is no reason to remove any existing
copyright notices.
