    @MLnick I have it on good authority (from the author of JBLAS) that he 
consider `netlib-java` to exceed his original goals for JBLAS. I am utterly 
confused why commons-math would accept JBLAS but reject netlib-java as a 
backend, given that JBLAS doesn't even have a java backend and they were 
concerned that the netlib-java java backend could not be compiled without 
classfile manipulation.
    
    I'll hold fire on the license request until you decide based on technical 
merit. I don't anticipate any problems: in fact I believe he would be delighted 
that MTJ is continuing.
