 I'm not sure how much work that infrastructure work would be, but -

a) a lot of those EPL files seems to be dual-licensed with EDL, which is OK?

b) that link also suggests that EDL and CDDL may be OK with respect to some
of these -

eg. "For small amounts of source that is directly consumed by the ASF
product at runtime in source form, and for which that source is unmodified
and unlikely to be changed anyway (say, by virtue of being specified by a
standard), inclusion of appropriately labeled source is also permitted. An
example of this is the web-facesconfig_1_0.dtd, whose inclusion is mandated
by the JSR 127: JavaServer Faces specification."

Might be worth clarifying these before putting much work into alternatives?

Best wishes,

Neil
