For my own education, I dug into this particular LICENSE [1] which is not just 
plain GPL2, it is granted under the Universal FOSS License version 1.0 [2].

But it's still Category X despite this.

The question for this specific software is answered at [3] with suggestions for 
what to do instead.

[2] - https://oss.oracle.com/licenses/universal-foss-exception/

    Hi,

    Sorry it’s -1 (binding) from me as the source file contains a Category X 
licensed jar.

    I checked:
    - incubating in name
    - signatures and hashes are fine
    - disclaimer exists
    - license and notice files look good
    - file have correct ASF headers
    - source release including compiled code [1]
    - did not try to compile

    I also note that [1] is licensed under the GPLv2 license which is not 
allowed to be included in an ASF release.

    Kind Regards,
    Justin
