Hi, The jcr license is compatible with the apache license to use. The only restriction on the jcr license is if you want to implement your own jcr implementation. If you do that you will need to read up the conditions which iirc are available on the java specification website.
From the sound of it, you only want to use jackrabbit and build on top of it which means your good to go.
