Apache does indeed have Apache-licensed versions of the servet 2.4 (and JSP 2.0) API classes. The ones that are shipped with Tomcat 5.x are in cvs repository "jakarta-servletapi-5". I would imagine we could just get the Tomcat folks to post those JARs to ibiblio or something. Isn't that just a matter of uploading to some special directory on an Apache server that gets mirrored over (the same way we do the Struts JARs)?
You could get the JARs from Sun (by downloading the app server, for example), but they'll come with a redistribution license says you can't piecemeal out the parts -- you can only ship what you downloaded if its unmodified and just a part of your product or package. That won't do us any good for this purpose.
