There are some problems with the next release, with the decision from the ASF board to mandate that all ASF releases are to be made of 100% ASL 2.0 licensed components (as a side note, I'd like to add that this is obviously a terrible decision). This has many consequences and some questions marks are left (such as for the JCP provided elements we are using).
With Tomcat 5.0.x, the most pressing problem is with JMX, since there are no ASL 2.0 licensed implementations available.
The options seem to be:
A) Ship Tomcat 5.0.20 without JMX, and have it display a message with instructions on how to install JMX if it's not present (basically, everywhere but on JDK 1.5.0).
B) Ship the binaries from non ASF servers (we could setup a project for that on Sourceforge). The sources can be shipped from the ASF servers as before. It is unclear to me if we can legally call these binaries Apache Tomcat or not.
