Hello,

would it be possible to include JLatexMath in the plantuml distribution? That would make it easier for the plantuml eclipse plugin to offer the math functionality also. I've filed an issue with them where they mention license issues but I think the current version of JLatexMath would be ok to include because they've added the following exception to their gpl license some time ago:

As a special exception, the copyright holders of this library give you
permission to link this library with independent modules to produce
an executable, regardless of the license terms of these independent
modules, and to copy and distribute the resulting executable under terms
of your choice, provided that you also meet, for each linked independent
module, the terms and conditions of the license of that module.
An independent module is a module which is not derived from or based
on this library. If you modify this library, you may extend this exception
to your version of the library, but you are not obliged to do so.
If you do not wish to do so, delete this exception statement from your
version.

What's your opinion regarding this issue?
