Hmm, but we include the entire javacc and jakarta-oro

oh. :-) It'd be good to follow-up on that. If another Apache project
does the same, then I wouldn't worry about it -- precedent is good.
Also this topic may have been raised before on infrastructure@ .
Well, here's precedent, FWIW:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/xalan/java/trunk/tools/
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lenya/trunk/lib/
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/forrest/trunk/lib/core/
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/db/ddlutils/trunk/lib/
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/beehive/trunk/external/
I could go on, but I won't. :-) Note that the last one has junit.jar,
which I thought was a no-no?
I think you have found adequate precedent. :-)
My understanding about junit.jar is it's OK to use (and many apache
projects do), but not OK to commit to an asf repo because it's licensed
under the CPL. Junit came up during the DITA* discussions, because both
are under CPL, and that's when we were told we could not commit anything
under CPL to the ASF repos.

*DITA: for anyone stumbling onto this post out of context, DITA is now
dual licensed under CPL and ASL.
