I'm not sure if there is an issue here. We certainly can't release
something under anything other than the original license, but I
don't see how that would be a problem since all licenses involved
(as far as I can tell) are BSD-ish in nature.
Could be, I thought there were issues with Spidermonkey's license, but
then I don't remember any details.
and most people who are capable of building it would just use the
current build and install tools anyway.
On a related note, from the download page we should to link to a
page of externally built binaries (with disclaimers that they
aren't official Apache releases) so people can find them easily.
Is that okay by ASF standards? Mentors?

Just to clear things up, after chatting with Jan on IRC I see that
I got the
wrong end of the stick. The real issues here are:
* We have a really cool subproject of CouchDB
* It shouldn't be part of /trunk
* It bundles lots of other software, with different licences
* Where should we put it, in terms of infrastructure
I think that's it, anyway... please correct me.
