I have not studied the implications for the licenses.  However, given
the default behaviour of SVN externals (by default, check out the
externals as if inclusion by reference) I would prefer to give
instructions to OpenAxiom users about how to fetch the `externals'.

My previous message was merely commenting on the technical aspects,
not the legal ones.  Sorry if that confuses people.
