only commiters have access to IPzilla, please post the relevant parts if 
there is concrete info.
I just checked BC's license and it is very liberal, just a short "do 
whatever you like with this software provided you preserve the copyright 
notice" kind of license.

Security related libs are not the kind of libraries which one would like to 
reimplement from scratch...  ;-P  It is crucial to know how other eclipse 
projects deal with that.
