It is a left over from the good old days: 1.2.8 (the first log4j
version we included [1]), while missing in the svn-tags of the logging
project, was ASL 1.1 licensed.

We haven't monitored the licensing change at that time, and just upped
the version number in the project.xml (there's maven for you :-).

The license is not necessary anymore, as we are also an Apache
project, so I figure we can remove it from the license directory.

Log4J is an ASF project, and we have not permitted new code to go out with
the old license for years.  I checked pom.xml, and wicket uses Log4J 1.2.13.
According to http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/logging/log4j/tags/v1_2_13/, that
is under the current Apache License, not the old one.

Yep, looking at the svn repo, the license for log4j was updated two
years ago. I guess that because log4j comes from the ASF, checking its
license has been overlooked.
