Sometime soon I hope to checkin some JUnit-based tests for testing the

want to checkin the JUnit jar itself (into tools/java alongside the

this? Will this annoy/confuse reviewers? Is there a more polite way to
submit jar files?
I'm not sure you can check Junit's jar into Apache's subversion
repository due to its licence (CPL 0.5).

Dan is correct; we cannot check CPL-licensed software/files into Apache.
For example, we couldn't check DITA Open Toolkit files into the derby
svn repository because it is under CPL. We discussed the issue with the
DITA OT developers and they additionally released it under the ASL 2 at
the end of August.
