The Apache Foundation's list of resolved legal questions states that CPL 1.0-licensed dependencies may be included in binary form: http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#category-b as long as it is clearly labelled. Also, this answer suggests that even tools under 'prohibited' licenses may be used if they're just part of the build and not actually distributed with your project: http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#prohibited I'm just a lurker and not a Java developer, so don't know if that helps in this case, but thought it worth sharing just in case. Might also be worth asking the legal-discuss mailing list about the issue? Cheers, Chris Mear
