IMO it's fine to bundled 3rd party stuff in (with correct licences) and it does 
give you control over the versions / ability to make changes. Downloading them 
would simplify the LICENSE file.

Perhaps put something in the release notes about that so people know why the 
jar is there? There may be some questions about including a jar in the source 
even if gradle recommends doing that. I assume there's no way you could compile 
the jar from source as part of the build or download the jar?

Up to you. I haven't noticed it inside a package before. IMO it's certainly not 
an something that would stop a release.

Was unaware of that - thanks for clearing it up.

Thanks,
