Bad news: As it stands right now Rhino needs to be removed and the user has to download Rhino himself. Rhino is distributed under the NPL and is a Category X license under third-party license policy: http://www.apache.org/legal/3party.html (See especially "Options for Prohibited Works")
I've just alerted the Cocoon project that they are wrongly listing Rhino as MPL. And they also still ship Rhino thus ignoring the third-party license policy like we do so far. My question: Can Batik work without Rhino especially after the animation stuff was added? If not, how much effort is it to make it so? We can also bring this issue up on legal-discuss again if necessary. Cocoon is in the same boat.
