Sure, those are only my personal .02! It's a majority vote so it's not black/white of course.
It's also not a problem with EPL but just my personal thoughts about our (the Apache Maven projects) ability to maintain Maven if a bug gets found. In my opinion we just cannot guarantee that bugs in Maven which are caused by a bug in aether can get effectively fixed. We just don't have it under our own control if there is no safety net of being able to fork-and-fix anymore. Btw, the Eclipse Foundation effectively demised projects because of external dependencies which are not under their control. And that also had nothing to do with any sentiment regarding a particular license but solely with the question of the maintainability.
