Description

FindBugs Annoations (SuppressWarnings & SuppressFBWarnings) have been used in 27 files in geode-core and the FindBugs LGPL License is not permitted under ASF policy:

• http://findbugs.sourceforge.net/

There is an Apache Licensed "clean room" implementation of the findbugs annotations[1] and I have asked on the legal-discuss list[2] if theres any reason this can't be used
