The APL should be compatible with our license. Further I would rather
not duplicate work with regards to these extensions. There is no need
to produce another set of the same libraries under GPL terms if they
exist already under the APL in this case. It's important to remember
these are not really "core" to J2SE and the code licensed under the
APL is still free software.
