The bluesky project originally contained a lot of LGPL/GPL code from various projects. The team has been making (slow and painful) progress reimplementing and refactoring code to resolve the license issues.

No problems found so far, but I'm not quite ready to declare it clean. A bit more due diligence is needed. When I am satisfied that the code is clean, I'll direct the Bluesky team to complete the code grant and we'll check the code into the ASF Bluesky repository. We've almost cleared a MAJOR hurdle for bringing the Bluesky project to the ASF. Excising the GPL/LGPL code from Bluesky has been a major, multi month effort and I sense that the effort is nearing completion. My expectation going forward ... after CNY (Chinese New Year), thsi project will begin to look more like a normal ASF project in incubation.
