Just like gump descriptors...which builds all sorts of stuff with all
sorts of licenses.

Here's a alternative idea...

How about hosting the directory/metadata of plugins at the ASF (or even
cooler, do something mirrored to avoid the ire of infra when Geronimo is
ubiquitous) and just have URLs to the plugin locations...?

Then that drives all plug-in authors to come and "register" them here -
just send a message to the mail list to have it included...

Then it doesn't matter - you can list plugins under all licenses
(including proprietary) - and they are hosted where they are hosted, if
you know what I mean.  No worries about Apache hosting things that
aren't from the ASF, etc.
