I think it's great that IBM is doing this, it seems like the right
approach to me. I also think it's reasonable to say that one never
knows, policies/directions may change at IBM or any other company
using/shipping Derby, and some type of fork or mod may occur that
differentiates the company product from Apache Derby. Let's hope that
never happens, it seems it would be a silly thing to do for all
concerned... :)

Sounds good.
I would just like to repeat that IBM Cloudscape includes an Apache Derby
distribution built from the ASF Derby code lines. The IBM Cloudscape
team works out of the ASF Derby code lines and fixes bugs/features etc.
directly in those code lines, i.e. in the community.
Thanks,
Dan.
