You can apply your own license to public domain code at will. So just
attach a normal GeoTools header (copyright PMC and license LGPL) to
it, and then add some notes giving credit to the original authors and
making sure it is clear where it came from.

" Hi,
In order to fix issue http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-4428
I've had to dive very deep and fix Sun's URLClassLoader which has a
large number of problems. To do so I had to rewrite several classes
and I've taken sources from Emory Utilities
(http://dcl.mathcs.emory.edu/php/loadPage.php?content=util/features.html#cla…
) and modified them slightly (since they were missing the ability to
support custom URL Stream handlers).
So I have a new URIClassLoader that extends URLClassLoader + a set
of
associated classes (stream handlers and url connection
implementations).
I'd like to commit this in a new xwiki-classloader module, dedicated
to classloading code (same as we have xwiki-xml for ex).
Let me know if you need more details.
Emory Utilities code is in the public domain (no copyright). I don't
know if we can relicense it under LGPL, so what does that mean for
our code?
