This is already done for the libraries released on sourceforge (the
'COPYING' file is named 'License') ! So, what is the problem ?

Althought the Epeios JAVA libraries were written under Windows, this was
done using the Sun JDK (and an old one, the 1.1.8), so I think this
libraries should also work with any Free Software JDK on any OS. And JAVA is
supposed to be portable, isn't it ? So, I don't see what the problem is ...
