Okay but it seems like it is Apache Licensed: https://code.google.com/p/wicket-jquery-ui/
But wicket-jquery-ui includes other libraries that are under the MIT license. So he would need a NOTICE file (According to our rules). Its really a bit messy, I think we should clean that up and add the FullCalendar to our NOTICE file to make sure nobody raises concerns about the legal status of our project.
