How do we integrate large chunks of external (ASF) software? The software for jxta is licensed:

Any ideas? Is SCSL3 an acceptable license, or should i ask Warren for a relicense under ASF license. He writes: "I would be very happy to donate the code." so i guess he is willing to relicense it.

Before integrating i would suggest a SVN branch for the integration. Gives me time to iron out any wrinkles.

I'm not sure if Warrens implementation will provide us with an implementation ClientAuthentication.YES and Confidentiality constraints, but we can use his code as a starting point, i also would like to delay finalisation of the serialization of the JxtaEndpoint, so this could be one the the more unstable apis.
