If you code against JavaHL instead of SVNKit, then you wouldn't have
any licensing issues.  SVNKit has a mode where it is API-compatible
with JavaHL.  JavaHL is the officially supported Java bindings for
Subversion (hence under ALv2); SVNKit is wholly unsupported
and...well...don't get me started on SVNKit...

For more, see:

Thanks, but I looked at that before I started. JavaHL basically gives  
you the same functionality you get from the command line - checking  
out files to a local file system, etc. Commons VFS wants Subversion to  
be the filesystem. SVNKit provides an API to work directly with the  
repository, which is exactly what was needed.
