Sorry Jerome, I've been a bit "missing in action" the last few months.
Lots has been going on behind the scenes....  But Jan, Chris and others
have been heling out in the mailing lists a lot.  So the email lists are
the best place to ask questions.

Documentation is always a difficult one for open source.  It is hard
for a developer to document something they have spent years working with,
as everything is obvious to us.

If there is something missing, please ask for it so we can work to
improve the documentation.

the current Jetty license is based on the artistic license:
   http://www.opensource.org/licenses/artistic-license.php

But I will be switching Jetty5 to use the apache 2.0 license soon.
