First of all I'm not a licensing expert :), Please correct me If I'm wrong.
I think licenses of softwares you mentioned above is not compatible with
Apache Axis2/C licensing (Apache 2.0), Therefore I think we could not
bundled them with Axis2/C. However I think it is upto user to download them
and use. I also having questions regarding licensing , I'm glad you ask this
question.
thanks,
Dinesh
