File HolesRemover.java includes 3rd party code. This code was originally developed by Nick Gravelyn and released under Ms-PL license. Ms-PL license is not compliant with overall GPL license and may prevent distributors to fulfill all license based obligations based on both licenses concurrently - see https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.en.html#ms-pl

Solution is to remove or replace code under Ms-PL or get formal approval to relicense from original author Nick Gravelyn http://nickgravelyn.com/
