    Description

      Subversion 1.6 and earlier was developed and released outsidfe of ASF. The project released, in addition to its own tarballs (subversion-1.6.0.tar.gz

      {,.asc}

      ), -deps tarballs which contained several dependencies (some of them mandatory to build). Those dependencies are:

      % for i in subversion-deps-1.4.6.tar.gz subversion-deps-1.5.9.tar.gz subversion-deps-1.6.19.tar.gz ; do tar tvf $i | cut -d/ -f3 ; done | sort | uniq
      apr
      apr-util
      neon
      serf
      sqlite-amalgamation
      zlib

      Of these, Neon is the only one which is not Category A; it is LGPL/GPL:
      [[[
      The neon library source code is licensed under the GNU Library GPL;
      see src/COPYING.LIB for full details. The manual and test suite are
      licensed under the terms of the GNU GPL; see test/COPYING for terms.
      The autoconf macros in the "macros" directory are under a less
      restrictive license, see each file for details.
      ]]]
      Additionally, neon/macros/socklen-arg-type.m4 does not specify a license.

      Subversion has imported its 1.0->1.6 non-ASF releases to http://archive.apache.org/dist/subversion/. May the project import its historical -deps tarballs as well?
