I don't see a problem with redistributing the JCR API jar file as-is, however
the addendum does not seem to allow repackaging. It says:
"In addition to the permissions granted under the Specification
License, Day Management AG hereby grants to You a perpetual,
worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
license to reproduce, publicly display, publicly perform,
sublicense, and distribute unmodified copies of the Content
Repository for Java Technology API (JCR 1.0) Java Archive (JAR)
file ("jcr-1.0.jar") and to make, have made, use, offer to sell,
sell, import, and otherwise transfer said file on its own or
as part of a larger work that makes use of the JCR API."
The part that worries me in the context of this issue is:
"[...] unmodified copies of the Content Repository for Java Technology API (JCR
1.0) Java Archive (JAR) file ("jcr-1.0.jar") [...]"
Is it possible to create a bundle that includes the jcr jar file as is?

> To use the JCR API in OSGi frameworks it would make perfect sense to have
> separate OSGi bundles providing the API. For JCR 2.0 the library will come as
> an OSGi bundle. For JCR 1.0 the library is not an OSGi bundle and needs to be
> wrapped.
> For this, Jackrabbit should provide a simple wrapper bundle around the JCR
> library and export the respective API.
> This wrapper project would be part of the jackrabbit/commons proper and
> mainly be a service of Jackrabbit to the OSGi users out there.
