Apologies as I don't know the history and may say something stupid, but I'm wondering why you have a servlet implementation in your repository? Wouldn't it be better to do what you have done with Commons and just re-package an existing open source implementation such as Tomcat or Geronimo? As well as not maintaining/duplicating code here you can then just take the lead from their notice and license files. Tomcat 5.x[1] is for Servlet 2.4 and Tomcat 6.x[2] is for Servlet 2.5. I believe that the only reason that Geronimo has its own Servlet 2.4[3] and Servlet 2.5[5] implementations was because until May 2007 the Tomcat ones were not available in the maven repo[5].
