Thanks for your reply!
I will check the licence information for the nightlies. If it is allowed to
used these instead of the EA2 version this will probably be quite acceptable
for now.

I know. Unfortunately those licenses aren't something we engineers can
control. I apologize.
The source code in the repository is covered by the CDDL, which I
believe allows commercial deployments. So you can probably pick up one
of our nightlies, which is very stable nowadays.
I'm hoping that we can ship a beta version with CDDL soon.
