Just looking at the spring-data-neo4 (which is ASL 2) - it uses directly =
org.neo4j.graphdb directly - which is an (A)GPLv3 licence.=20
I agree with Hadrian, we would be infecting users of camel-spring-neo4j =
with (A)GPLv3 - which is very undesirable. Unless I've missed a =
different licence for the client-side piece of neo4j that meets with our =
licence restrictions[2] - it should be moved to camel-extra with =
appropriate warnings.

thanks,

Rob
