At least I would consult the mindelectric people, as the GLUE license
(at least the 4.1 beta) contains some restrictions:
<<
- You are not integrating GLUE BETA or a derivative of it
into a software infrastructure platform such as WebLogic,
Apache SOAP, WebSphere, Oracle application server,
or HP e-speak. Note that this restriction is targeted at
software infrastructure vendors, and does not prevent developers
from using and bundling GLUE BETA with applications that run
on these platforms.

I think (altough not listed) Avalon projects fall into this category.
