Yes, it does cost money. Odd that they have httpd packages available but
not the mod_jk package. As we've said many times on this list, it's
trivial to build. Package managers can easily support it. Debian does
it, why not Red Hat?

It's just not feasible for Apache to supply binaries for every
environment. Apache cannot force RHEL to provide a package.
