It does not matter what Tapestry ships with.  I'd like to think the Tapestry
PMC is doing the proper diligence before releases.  Regardless we cannot
base our decisions on the interpretation of Apache policy by other
committees.

Howard Ship, I know had some outstanding questions about this and it's what
had triggered several discussions on third party licensing which the board
is now considering.

For the record, I want this M1 out more than anybody: so I don't want any
red lights in our way. I just started using the JMX feature too and I cannot
foresee living without it now.

I don't think this page is set as official Apache policy:

     http://people.apache.org/~cliffs/3party.html

I don't know if the work Cliff was doing ever got ratified.  We can check
and see but MPL from this guide is OK.  So if this is official then we have
no problem.  BTW here's what the javassist pom says about the license:

<name>MPL 1.1</name>                        <url>
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/jboss/javassist/License.html?rev=HEAD&amp;content-type=text/html
</url>

    Dual-license; LGPL if downloaded as part of JBoss, MPL if downloaded
separately.
</comments>

Also what's the license on OGNL?.  I have not been able to find it.
