Hum... don't see how a license that was created before Maven even existed
could disallow us to just change the groupId (without changing the actual
package names in the jars)

Hum.. I thought that the search stopped at central for jai because it finds
the pom, but it has an indication to manually install the jar.
I guess Jody's question was, can we make it the search continue on other
repos for jai specifically, even if we stumble into central first?
If we could, there would be no need to change the jai groupId
