Hi Gianny,
It's fine to include EPL-licensed binaries. EPL-licensed source code  
would be a problem, however. FYI -- an overview of OS licenses and  
categorization with regard to Apache projects can be found here --  
http://people.apache.org/~rubys/3party.html

I would prefer that you not create a separate LICENSE-EPL file. We  
currently aggregate all license information in our LICENSE.txt file.  
I'd prefer that we maintain this practice until we change our  
handling for all 3rd party licenses.

The NOTICE file needs to inform users how to obtain aspectj source  
code (this is a provision of the EPL). Typically this is accomplished  
with a url to the project web site.

Although the geronimo-wadi module would conceptually "contain" the  
EPL-licensed artifact, it's actually the assembly that contains the  
artifact. So, updating the license/notice files in the configs/ 
geronimo-wadi directory would not be appropriate. Instead, you need  
to update trunk/LICENSE.txt (and NOTICE.txt) as well as trunk/ 
assemblies/geronimo-boilerplate-minimal/src/main/underlay/LICENSE.txt  
(and NOTICE.txt).
