Feel free to look into it Srgjan and if it seems to allow
redistribution, open a JIRA ticket for it.

I've asked on the MS msdn forums about it and a person answered that
indeed the older driver had the restrictions on redistribution but the
new one seems can be redistributed but it seems that the maven team
should make a formal request. The guy also said he'd be glad to help
clarify any licensing issues directly so I'm pointing you to the discussion:
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/showpost.aspx?postid=777134&siteid=1
and here is the registration for the driver redistribution:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/data/ref/jdbc/redist/default.aspx
I believe someone from representing maven team (or the apache
foundation) should read the license and if it's ok then perhaps we can
redistribute the lib through our repository.
This is the EULA:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/data/ref/jdbc/redist/eula.aspx
Perhaps there are some issues like:
require distributors and external end users to agree to terms that
protect it at least as much as this agreement; EXPORT RESTRICTIONS; others?
Also, although we accept these terms, there is currently no way for the
maven end users to accept the license as well.
What's your thoughts?
