Why don't you contact the author and ask him to change the license? Maybe he won't :'( I've ITP jta and jdbc-ext. They are both Binary licenses from Sun (non-free :'( ). I did not ask them, but it's probably not a good idea?.. Let us know your what happens? Best regards, -- Arnaud Vandyck http://alioth.debian.org/users/arnaud-guest/
