The jars are freely downloadable from the following URL, which I added in the arcsde plugin's project.xml dependencies: http://support.esri.com/index.cfm?fa=downloads.patchesServicePacks.viewPatch&PID=19&MetaID=1065#install-cUNIX I saw no license agreement nor you have to be registered to download it, so I thought it would be ok. When I first introduced the geotools arcsde plugin back in 2003 I asked Chris Holmes about this same fear, and since we didn't found any access restriction I guessed it would be ok. I'm far to be a licensing expert though, so be sure I'll have no problem in producing a fake jar with the needed classes so the plugin could compile without depending on the actual ESRI jars if needed.
