That's my understanding of the current consensus as well.

I think the current operative policy is from =
http://www.apache.org/legal/3party.html=20
:
	=95 For add-ons under excluded licenses, the PMC may provide a =
link/=20
reference on the product web site or within product documentation to =20
some other web site that hosts such add-ons (e.g. a SF.net project or =20=

some third-party site dedicated to distributing add-ons for the Apache =20=

product) as long as it is made clear to users that the host site is =20
not part of the Apache product nor endorsed by the ASF.
	=95 For add-ons under excluded licenses, the PMC may include a =
feature =20
within the product that allows the user to obtain third-party add-ons =20=

if the feature also alerts the user of the associated license and =20
makes clear to users that the host site is not part of the Apache =20
product nor endorsed by the ASF.

So as long as your installer makes it clear to the user that the =20
external bits are not Apache-licensed, I read the policy as allowing =20
the CouchDb installer to fetch and install them and thereby make them =20=

available to the CouchDb user.
