Thanks for pointing this out. I have relicensed my changes under the Apache license and will upload a fixed package in a couple of minutes after some testing.
It also means that if the tomcat maintainer has accepted patches on behalf of tomcat, he needs to check with the original patch submitters, as the license of those patches is in question(are they under Apache, or GPL?).
The only patch I have accepted was rkill() from Oskar Liljeblad <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in Tomcat's init script. I have removed the relevant parts for the next release. -- Stefan Gybas
