Can HBase include CPL licensed code? License seems fine (though

Above statement about junit is a little off; hadoop currently
bundles junit. Has the jar under lib and then a junit-X.X.X-
LICENSE.txt file beside it w/ the CPL text. If HBase were bundling
a CPL jar, any objections to our doing likewise?
Ok, my take based on reading the 3party.html is that CPL is ok, as
long as:
1. it is only distributed in binary form.
2. Putting the license beside the jar seems like a good practice.
3. We should also include a notice in the project's NOTICE.txt
that says where to get the source code for the jar.
