At least initially, we should be able to work with JOTM as a 3rd party jar served from ibiblio, and create a Geronimo environment where the actual transaction manager is a pluggable component.

Dear Brian and Greg,
We (ObjectWeb) owe you a response on possible changes of licenses for ObjectWeb components, to further the possibility for collaboration between Apache and ObjectWeb.
I am happy to report that both the ObjectWeb Board and the ObjectWeb College of Architects have agreed that, for ObjectWeb components that are to be developed collaboratively with the Apache Software Foundation, a change of license from LGPL to BSD is encouraged.
Ultimately, of course, the final responsibility for effecting such a change lies with the copyright holders of the source code under consideration.
For the two cases at hand, namely the JOTM transaction engine and the ASM bytecode manipulator, I am happy to report that the respective copyright holders are ready to make this change, should the ASF require it.
As we discussed in previous messages, I believe such a policy meets the requirements of the ASF for incorporating ObjectWeb components in its code base.
Best regards,
Jean-Bernard
