When we started the development of the OpenID4Java[1] libraries, we
used net.openid for the package rather then com.sxip in that we
wanted to make it clear that this was a community project rather then
a Sxip Identity project. Use of a domain implies control over the
domain, which none of the members of OpenID4Java have.
Given that the openid.net domain name will soon be owned by the
OpenID Foundation and managed for the benefit of the OpenID
community, it is a community question if it is ok for the OpenID4Java
libraries to use net.openid.
If it is not ok, then we will change the package to com.sxip or
org.sxip or ...
