This might be better discussed on jbosslicense, but I won't agree to the enormous contract that eGroups makes you agree to before even looking at the archives. The required jar file for JCA support is licensed in such a way that I don't think we can distribute it. This should change once it's released in final form (it's still public final draft), but for now I don't think I'm allowed to put it in CVS, which means that the alpha JCA implementation I'm almost ready to commit won't compile. This is easily fixed for people interested in the JCA because they can just grab the jar from Sun, but for everyone else it will be something of a pain in the arse. I imagine this kind of thing has come up before, Sun being as they are with licensing. What would the board prefer - a CVS that requires a separate download to build, a CVS that violates the license for connector.jar, a separate tar-ball containing the JCA implementation + patches or something that I haven't thought of?
