Firstly, my apologies for taking so long to reply - I've only just
worked out why I wasn't getting any wicket emails.

It is worth understanding why Apache 'frowns' on non-ASL compatible
libraries.

Apache is strict about what can and can't be included within Apache
projects so that users can easily understand the licensing consequences
of using its code. It is worth noting that there are many companies that
have a policy of accepting Apache code without license review, purely
because of this policy.

They stay at SourceForge and remain available. There's nothing wrong
with interfacing non ASL-compatible code with Wicket - it is just
important that users are aware of the licensing consequences of doing so.

Well, I hope both Wicket and Apache will gain from it :-)
