I did some soul searching and of course the servletapi jar seems a bit
out-of-the-blue. The license states it comes from the Jakarta Tomcat
effort, and after some digging it was found on the maven 1 repository:

   http://repo1.maven.org/maven/servletapi/jars/

It seems to be ASL 1.1 licensed and created by Craig McClanahan:

   http://repo1.maven.org/maven/servletapi/licenses/LICENSE

The origin of the file is unknown, as it was created before the well
established new policies of including the license and notice in the
META-INF folder.

As we only link to the file, and I don't want to go around trying to
find a new, correctly licensed file with good antecedents, I am going
to disable the explicit inclusion of our dependencies. Only the
wicket-examples WAR archive will keep the spring, asm, cglib etc
dependencies, and only packaged with it.

The only way to build Wicket from source from the distribution is
using maven 2, so the dependencies don't have to be included from a
build perspective.

eta-2/licenses/log4j-license.txt?revision=545721&view=markup ?

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.
