After now having an Eclipse installation I thought it would be easy to find where the "main distribution" content may be, but no. Anyway, I'm pretty sure Eclipse already bundles several Apache projects (commons projects would be my first bet) and many of the plugins certainly depend on things that use the Apache Software License (as Spring does, for example). I know some part ships XMLUnit (which I maintain, Apache licensed as well) as the Eclipse legal folks once asked me about it. Legally there shouldn't be any problem AFAICT. Of course I'm not a lawyer.
