I figure as long as ibiblio are aware they are liable, and that they have happily accepted that liability, then it doesn't matter.

Sam named JAF, JavaMail and EJBs so I removed those. I just got off the phone and I got a clear answer as to what Apache could be liable for. If Maven, being an ASF piece of software, is party to illegal assembly then the ASF could be liable. This I did not think was the case as the JARs were not on ASF hardware but that doesn't seem to matter. So the Sun violations can't happen anymore. Now we just have to deal with LGPL and GPL issues.
All I ask now is that developers in Jakarta, particularly those involved in tools such as Maven that are a critical part of a number of build processes and involve the automatic downloading of dependencies, do a self assessment for license violations.
Do NOT simply wait and be reactive on this.
