There are dependencies on licensed code that are incompatible with
Apache policies.

IMHO, the incompatible code should be moved, and the demos that can
stay stay. Then it becomes a matter of time when all demos are finally
Apache Licensed only. Inconvenient, yes, but we look at things in very
long perspectives here (say Harmony or Geronimo, if you want to look
at painstakingly long clearance of encumbered code).
