I understand ( and agree ) with 'no GPL included in a tomcat release', that's not what I'm proposing. And it's no longer an issue - it seems they have a separate jar containing only the class we depend on, which is AL2: https://github.com/eclipse/jetty.project/blob/master/jetty-npn/src/main/java/org/eclipse/jetty/npn/NextProtoNego.java npn-api is the jar. At runtime: if a user wants spdy with AL2, he'll have to use apr and compile latest JNI. If he wants NIO/BIO - he'll need to independently download npn-boot.jar and use java7 ( or wait until java7 includes the needed tls changes ).
