Fantastic!

Not to my knowledge. What you are doing by going through the sources is
probably what must be done, unfortunately.

In particular I am looking at:

This is part of the JDAP distribution from:
  http://opendap.org/java-DAP

I could not find license information for JDAP or OpenDAP anywhere on their
site. However, I found a Debian thread about OpenDAP being LGPL:


http://osgeo-org.1803224.n2.nabble.com/frankie-debian-org-OpenDAP-license-is-LGPL-td4823251.html

So it sounds like people have gone through some of this pain before. Might
be worth contacting them to find out the current status before proceeding
too far with repackaging stuff.

Regards,
Curtis
