2. Can ASF Projects use GPL/LGPL Projects? Yes. But, they cannot distribute them. ASF projects can use GPL/LGPL code during the build process so long as there is no runtime dependency in the code produced. Programs like checkstyle are OK. Imports of classes covered by GPL/LGPL are not.

As far as L/GPL jars go that's not something Maven controls. Projects state their own dependencies and if an Apache project is violating Apache policies how is that Maven's problem? If it was an Ant build that used the get/ task to link in an L/GPL jar is that Ant's problem? Obviously not.
