Re: [Geotools-devel] Copyright issue with SoftHashMap

[Simone G. <sim...@gm...>]

I did not know that the class was there, I found it in another open
source  project where there was no mention of licensing (I do not
remember the name of the project) where it depended on something else
that I removed.

I guess if we can't use it the best approach is reuse WeakValueHashMap
(we might even go directly with that approach).
