James currently includes JavaMail, Activation, dns-java and Junit 
non-Apache-jars without licenses in CVS.

JavaMail and Activation were deemed illegal for distribution recently I 
believe?

Junit falls under the IBM Public license.

dns-java is GPL or LGPL from their web site.

One of the conditions for distributing JUnit under your own license is 
that the 'contributor's license agreement:

"states that source code for the Program is available from such 
Contributor, and informs licensees how to obtain it in a reasonable manner 
on or through a medium customarily used for software exchange."

"Contributor" means IBM and any other entity that distributes the Program.

e.g. Apache.
"Original Program" means the original version of the software accompanying 
this Agreement as released by IBM, including source code, object code and 
documentation, if any.
e.g. JUnit.
"Program" means the Original Program and Contributions. 

It's not clear to me how the distribution of JUnit is legal either.

What is required here?
