That's excactly the reason Eclipse legal stays away from BC.

If we can get away from hardcoded dependency from BC JCE, it'd be
awsome!

May be we can produce a list of compatible JCEs that can be used with
WSS4J (including BC).

Best Regards,
George

Has the WSS4J team digested this discussion on apache-legal? [1]  See
the thread 'IDEA block cipher inclusion via the "bouncy castle" JCE
provider':

I propose we remove the BouncyCastle JARs from our "other"  
distribution, and add a note in the release notes, saying that users
must procure a copy of the BC jars themselves.
