    Attachment: wrapper_license.txt

May someone check if this license would allow distribution with Forrest?

Yes the license is fine. Just checkin beside the jar.

I had never thought to use 'forrest run' as a long-standing
service. Always assumed need to build as a war and run
in a servlet container, e.g. Tomcat or full Jetty.
Our bundled Jetty does not have all the facilities.

It looks just fine to me, can some other people please give it a look 
over - we need to have many eyes on this (it's a very short and simple 
license that essentially says you can do anything as long as you include 
the original copyright header)
