I would love for GPL versions of the following to be built so we can stop linking to the Apache or otherwise-licensed libraries below:

HSQLDB is under a modified BSD license. That is GPL compatible so you don't need to worry about it.


The line between the libraries we can access because what Apple or Microsoft choose to distribute with their OS vs. the Apache Commons "platform" that we chose to use libraries from is a very murky one. Its very ironic that its okay for us to use closed Quicktime calls or Windows Media Player even, but we can't link to an Apache licensed open-source library.


Yes, it's a little silly; but getting the t's crossed and the i's dotted is important for making the software broadly usable.
