I'll try to find out what is the current situation. At
http://www.netbeans.org/community/contribute/modules.html there's "If you need
to distribute some third-party library or similar files with your module,
please again ask on [email protected] for help; it can be arranged for
your library to be included in "extra downloads" and marked with a
click-and-accept license."

I've seen some page at www.netbeans.org about "compatible" licenses with SPL
like Apache, LGPL, etc., but I can not find it any more. It would be probably
best to ask at [email protected].

I would like to see rather java.util.logging, because it's in JDK 1.4, but if
j2ssh depends on log4j, we can not do much about that.
