Josejuan Montiel (josejuan.montiel@gmail.com) has submitted some code 
that would implement an FTPS protocol as an addition to commons-net.  
This submission takes the form of a patch submitted as a bug via 
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=38309.  Apparently 
this code was submitted as part of an existing project under SourceForge (

http://sourceforge.net/projects/ufsc).  That project was originally under the LGPL, \
although its owner, Paul Ferraro has apparently agreed to switch it to the Apache  \
License.

Can some of the licensing gurus comment on this, and provide feedback?  I would like \
to see this happen if it's possible.  However, Mr. Montiel has more work to do before \
 the team would accept the submission, and I am reluctant to suggest that he do it if \
some licensing issue that I am not aware of would kill the idea.


Additionally. the submission depends on classes in the com.sun.net.ssl 
package.  Are these legal imports for jakarta?
