As seen in Aether's IP log, the relevant dependencies are licensed under 
Apache License v2 and have been approved by the IP team. So AFAIK there 
isn't a licensing issue that prevents their redistribution via a p2 repo.

There is however a process issue: The maven-aether-provider depends on 
Aether core and by the time Aether core and its p2 repo get released, a 
matching maven-aether-provider is not yet available.

So at one point, we can probably provide a second p2 repo to host the 
maven-aether-provider.
