I don't yet either. http://www.generationjava.com/jars2/ is a maven repository. If I put Jakarta Commons-Lang there, am I breaking the Apache licence in some way by re-distributing Lang? If not, then the only thing I could see being wrong about ibiblio would be that an ASF project, Maven, uses it as its default repository. Which doesn't seem wrong, but might have some bad aspect I don't see. The Sun licence stuff on there is more quesitonable. I figure as long as ibiblio are aware they are liable, and that they have happily accepted that liability, then it doesn't matter. Or do they pass the liability on to the individual who set it up, [Jason?] ?
