----------------------------------------------
Mohammed et al
There are some bad news. It turned out that memcached is licensed under kind of
license of its own [1]. It looks like MIT type of license to me, but I am not
sure and I am not a legal expect. Wikipedia categories that license as
'Permissive free software licence' but it does not necessarily mean it is
compatible with ASLv2 used by Apache products.
I am very reluctant to go through the pains of dealing with our legal folks in
order to find out whether or not the license is compatible with ASLv2 only to
be able to include just one optional class.
Can you live with memcached cache storage implementation not being a part of
stock version of HttpClient?
