G'Day ... working with a software foundation and we are having some trouble using JLine 2. And it is hard for me to get an answer as to why - as IP questions are hard to talk about on the internet.

Headers?

Checking over your file headers I can find a 40c44be resulting in the following DIFF:

-Copyright (c) 2002-2006, Marc Prud'hommeaux <mwp1@cornell.edu>
+Copyright (c) 2002-2012, the original author or authors.

This has the effect of ignoring the original file headers, rather than preserving history.

On projects I work on, when we build on code from other projects, the copyrights tend to stack - something like this:

Copyright (c) 2012-2015, Jason Dillon and others
Copyright (c) 2002-2006, Marc Prud'hommeaux <mwp1@cornell.edu>

License?

Only other thing I can think of is the original JLine project making the transition from GPL to BSD:

0.9.0 2005-01-23

  • Changed license from GPL to BSD.
  • Made "CTRL-L" map to clearing the screen.

If they stuffed that up it would be indeed hard to recover.
