Hi Alex, unfortunately this is not quite correct. Having LGPL2 is actually something we are not allowed to use.

In general the use of other libs, which are not distributed over the project, is fine. We just need to make sure that we reference the library in the pom.xml file and not distribute them directly. BSD license, as well as MIT are compatible. Chris, and mentors - any comments here before we start to draft the first release?
