License compatibility?

Hi,

Is the X11 License compatible with the Apache one? I think so, but
would like to have the confirmation. There is a peace of code under
X11 license that I would like to bring into HBase...

Can someone confirm?

X11 belongs to Category A from the Apache 3rd party licenses page:
http://www.apache.org/legal/3party.html

"Third-party works [from Category A], in both source and binary form, may
be included within Apache products.."

Thanks for trying to keep us honest JMS.
