CPL(htmlparser) + JMeter
While looking at the current JMeter release candidate, I noticed that
it ships with a binary version of htmlparser, licensed under CPL. This
was fine under the guidance of the draft 3rd party policy, and so I'd
like to ask us for a generic position on the license.
Regarding http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html - I doubt that CPL
is one we would consider as similar in terms to the Apache License. Is
it however a license that we are happy to be included in any Apache
products with some provisos? What would they be? Do we need to worry
about language type? Do we worry about source vs binary [object code
vs source code is quite explicitly discussed in the license]?
Other common CPL products are JUnit and wsdl4j.
One proviso that I think we should define is that the download clearly
link to the project of the CPL'd product [JMeter does this in its
NOTICE file].

Actually, the current version of JMeter ships with a version of the
parser licensed under AL 2.0:
http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?group_id=24399&release_id=449790
but the question is still valid ...
