tools licenses

Hi,

in LMF we are using some proprietary tools, mainly JRebel and YourKit, 
and we'd like to continue using them for Marmotta's development.

So, I have two questions:

- Is there any rule against this? I suppose not, because there are some 
key tools in ASF (Jira, for instance) that are proprietary.

- Through ASF, do we have access to any other relevant tool?

I'll talk with Sebastian to check if we could extend the granting to 
Marmotta too. And probably I'll a new section at the web site for such 
kind of acknowledges.

Cheers,

Yes, that's what we did for LMF too. But I wanted to check there is no 
ASF license before requesting it for an individual project, you know.

Thanks guys!

The project can get a free YourKit license for open source work.  We 
have one in Jena.

AFAIK, No rules against this. This is allowed.

There are some licences available for Apache commiiters. Please check the
following and that has information about donated-licenses to the ASF.

I think for YourKit and JRebel, we can easily request a licence for
Marmotta.
