• There is no Jakarta-wide policy against putting JARs in CVS.
• When JARs are distributed, the license for the JAR must allow for redistribution.
• Many subprojects depend JARs created by Sun. Not all Sun JARs have the same license. Some may permit unrestricted redistribution; most do not.
• It is the policy of the Apache Software Foundation to scrupulously observe all licensing conditions. This is a zero-tolerance policy.

These JARs have been determined to have licenses which prevent them from being distributed from an Apache code repository.
