Yes. I would be happy to help if MX4J was dual licenced.

In general I don't work on open source projects. I work on free
software ones. I work for GNU. I try, whenever possible, to benefit
the GNU project. APL code cannot be used with GPL code. LGPL code can
(even if it is also licenced under the APL).
I don't have much time to spend on free software, I have 3 small
children and a large dog who take up a lot of my time, so when I
choose to help I do so very selectively.

It does in my case. I am very selective about who I help.
I have often found it to be the case where ASF programmers will not
contibute to GPL or LGPL projects.
I don't see why my reaction is suprising.
