Dependency on LGPL library #9

I maintain Metrics which is Apache 2 licensed, and has ganglia as an output. It was brought to my attention that gmetric4j has a dependency on remotetea, which as you know is LGPL licensed. This severely limits its usefulness. Having inspected the code, it seems to me that it would be relatively trivial[citation needed] to reimplement the parts of XDR which are required by ganglia. Is this something you would consider?

The licensing arrangement is currently satisfactory for my own use cases but I can appreciate that it is a problem for some people. If somebody wants to submit the changes with a pull request then it would be looked at objectively.

@ryantenney Did you have an alternative library in mind? metrics 2.x used a custom XDR class (I think with lineage going back to Hadoop) and believe the reason for going to gmetric4j was to get away from maintaining that.
