The SpringSource dm Server project [1] has been successfully using JWebUnit for 
quite some time. Thanks for providing a great tool.

We are in the process of donating dm Server to Eclipse.org as the Virgo project 
[2] and we have hit a problem: we cannot continue to use JWebUnit because of a 
license incompatibility between the Eclipse Public License and the GPL. (We 
didn't previously have this problem because dm Server is licensed under the 
GPL.)

Might it be possible to add an exception to the JWebUnit license so that 
projects which use JWebUnit do not have to be licensed under the GPL? MySQL did 
something similar [3]. This would enable Virgo to use JWebUnit and may 
encourage other Eclipse projects to do the same.

Thanks for your time,
Glyn
