Shibboleth Developers

[Mark Allen Earnest <>]

For the lionshare plugin I took code from 
SAMLv1.1_AttributeQueryHandler.java (and attributed it as such) and 
basically kept the same package name except put it in psu's namepsace ( 
edu.internet2.middleware.shibboleth.idp.provider became 
edu.psu.middleware.shibboleth.idp.provider ).

One thing I did not do is put a license on it (although it has yet to be 
distributed), but I'm probably just going to keep the same Apache 2.0ish 
license terms for simplicity.
