If possible: we need a review on the JMX1.2 RI license. My understanding 
is that it allows redistribution ( JMX1.1 was more restrictive ) and it
doesn't seem to require "click" or other things. 
No other JMX1.2 implementation exists at this moment and we need
some of the security enhancements. Tomcat5 relies on JMX. I consider
this critical.
