I noticed that the rhq-pluginAnnotations-3.0.4.jar JAR is used in 
xwiki-enterprise-jetty-hsqldb-4.1.2.  The source code for 
rhq-pluginAnnotations-3.0.4 [1] uses the GNU General Public License.  However, 
the overall licence for xwiki-enterprise-jetty-hsqldb-4.1.2 is GNU LESSER 
GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE (see 
xwiki-enterprise-jetty-hsqldb-4.1.2\META-INF\LICENSE file that comes with the 
distro).

If the overall distro uses a GPL library, don't the copy left provisions of the 
GPL require shouldn't that require the whole distro fall under the GPL license?
