I am not concerned if RHT wants to keep the HornetQ product, branding, and trademark. That's perfectly within their right to do so. It appears the renaming and other steps effectively mitigate most concerns. I am concerned that there was a donation of code and a plan to make the communities a single community, all while it seems that the HornetQ open source project and community are continuing to develop that same codebase and community external to the ASF as well as inside the ASF (often by the same people working in both communities.) --David
