That's not possible. Since  JMimeMagic is LGPL, any modifications must
result in a library that is also LGPL. As part of the ASF, all Commons
components must have the Apache License.

I do think something along the same lines as JMimeMagic would make a good
Commons component (unless we already have one lurking somewhere that I'm not
aware of). If someone happens to know either of the authors and would like
to open a dialogue with them about either changing the license or possibly
coming to the ASF, I think that would be worthwhile.
