In that case, I suggest you start with filing upstream JIRAs for pretty much all of the Hadoop ecosystem projects kindly asking them to remove dependencies on non-ASF (but APL!) projects like Guava libraries. Until that happens there's very little Bigtop can do. > If the owners of the Hue project decide to donate it to Apache and it had > been released by Apache, then it would be acceptable.

I would like to point out, that your -1 on Hue is highly inconsistent for the reason I mentioned above. I'm not sure what rules ASF has for gratuitous -1 votes devoid of clear technical reasoning, but I'm sure as a project mentor you can help us find out what that policy is.
