Most probably we'll need to package OSGi Enterprise, but I'm not sure 
about licensing of this project.

The code itself (included in the.jar file, another story...) is ASL 2.0, 
but if you try to download it from the website, you need to agree to this:

	http://www.osgi.org/Download/Release5?info=nothanks

Which is no more, no less OSGi Specification License, listed as bad 
license on the wiki:

	http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing#Bad_Licenses

You can also download it directly, without the need to agree to the 
license on the website:

	http://www.osgi.org/download/r4v42/osgi.enterprise.jar
	http://www.osgi.org/download/r5/osgi.enterprise-5.0.0.jar

How should we deal with it? Are we authorized to package it under ASL 2.0?

Thanks!
