Another problem: Subversion's build/ac-macros/find_apr.m4 is a direct
copy of apr's file, and similarly for apr-util's find_apu.m4. I think
these files are intended for use by third-parties, that's implied by a
comment in apr/CHANGES, but I don't see any acknowledgement exemption.
To further muddy the waters, the CVS history appears to show that
these are largely the work of Subversion developers so I guess they
could (and perhaps did?) contribute them to Subversion.
