That is great news! Congratulations.

That is fine; the point is to find the issues (you can fix them on
your own time - even after graduation). That said I will try and
provide
some comments. Just please keep in mind this is friendly advise and
the decision rests in the hands of the PSC - and resolving these
issues is not required for graduation.
Thank you for all the hard work; can we have a shared Skype or IRC
session and go over the graduation requirements and ensure you are
happy? The next step is for me to nominate you and for us to play Q&A
with the incubation list.

Issue 2 matches GeoAPI interfaces (such as CodeList). This code is
released under its own license (so you will need to refer to that in
the header for these files; and include the license in the zip.

Issue 3 is an interesting one - You reference the correct (c) 2003 in
your header; that provides a history others can review to establish
ownership. You may also talk to to the author directly; since 2003
many books have tightened up their language making it clear that you
can use their work as a starting point. Until then you are providing
credit where credit is due. There does not appear to be a problem
here.

The story you tell here is fine; tell that story in the header; and
try and contact the author. The idea with the header is to communicate
what is know right now.
So short term I would make a header consisting of exactly your summary
on that page.

In general you are distributing these libraries in accordance with
their license. In cases where you have your own fork - say
commons-httpclient-2.0.2-deegreeversion.jar you actually have an
interesting issue. You need to be sure that the code is available for
others (and whatever else Apache License asks). And you are taking
responsibility for shipping that fork of httpclient as a distinct
artifact. In my case I usually submit a patch back to the original
project; and consider the source code published as a result. You can
link to the bug report w/ patch in your providence review ...
Other then that I am not always sure why there is a ? for some of
these libraries. mysql-connector-java-5.1.7-bin.jar is always a
trouble since what does it mean for a jdbc-driver to be GPL?
