Tomcat and also jetty have a set of source java files in their dev tree from
what they build the servlet-2.5.jar. Each JAVA file under javax.servlet
(version 2.5) starts with the following text comment:

I think this is a clear license note. And there is also the link to "Apache"
in the last sentence!
