Hi Bernd,
I've also contacted the (Apache) guy that wrote the Dojo-Maven
integration to see if there is a way to build those files from the Maven
build directly, instead of having them in the SVN. It is not just for a
license problem, but also a better alternative. Anyway, inclusion on
Dojo (or in general, third party javascript libraries where a "binary"
version does not exist) has been a concern in ASF for a while, so I'd
like to hear from more experienced people about it.

The question as always is, what's the license?
Dojo is availble under *either* the terms of the modified BSD license
/or/ the Academic Free License version 2.1.
On the site they state:
Both licenses grant you broad rights to use and build on and with Dojo
in both Open Source and commercial settings.
You may:
* Freely use Dojo to build applications and services
* Distribute Dojo as a part of commercial products
* Modify Dojo, make extensions to the toolkit, and produce your own
add-on components with no requirement that you give your code away
or contribute it back to the project
Just to re-iterate, you can build commercial software with Dojo without
obtaining a separate license or incurring any other obligations.
I suppose this qualify for adding a compressed javascript version in the
ASF SVN repo.
But again, if you feel like it doesn't, I can remove it quite easily and
go search for a better alternative.
Looks OK to me, maybe others want to chime in with their views.
Bernd
