In this effort to isolate libraries with certain licenses most of the  
critical ones are just fine in the license area, with one rather  
annoying exception: Carol.

This is used by JOTM for the underlying communication and such, and  
is LGPL. This is a pain because we can't really run anything without  
a transaction manager... So, creatively thinking of a few options:

1. is it possible to use JOTM without this?
2. we could see if they would be willing to change the license, or do  
a multiple license with something like MPL
3. we could look into using whatever Geronimo uses...

Some other annoying ones, but not quite so critical: JasperReports  
and Shark. We don't rely on these too much right now, but we have  
things for both of them, and it would be nice in some areas to do  
more with both...
