Actually, we just integrate with Log4J.
KCC easily integrates with Ant, but Ant is not redistributed with KCC and you 
can use KCC without Ant.
Same with SkinLF. BTW we gave a KCC license to the developper of SkinLF.
We just use JUnit internally for our tests.

Since we use free software, our policy has always been to give licenses to the 
people of the free software community who were interested in our products.
In the same spirit, we gave several licenses of our constraint solver to 
universities and students.

Well, we are a small software company ... we can't let people modify and 
distribute our applications. If we become bigger, we could sell support 
only...

I fully understand.
