It's a bigger problem in that even if we were using something like Maven which automagically downloads dependencies, we couldn't do so as part of the default build based on my reading of http://www.apache.org/legal/3party.html Which says: YOU MUST NOT distribute build scripts or documentation within an Apache product with the purpose of causing the default/standard build of an Apache product to include any part of a prohibited work. So either it's a system requirement - OR...we get rid of it and remove anything that depends on it. (is the dhcp listener the only part that does?) --David
