Hi, > I was told the content is intended for unrestricted redistribution.
Have all the authors agreed to that? Are all the authors employees of DT? Have they signed the equivalents to ICLAs for that content? IMO (and again I’m not a lawyer) I think the content would need to be clearly licensed before it can be placed and redistribution in an Apache release. Ask yourself how would DT feel if someone took that content, modified it and republished on their own blog? > I also opened the JIRA to replace the content Thanks for that. > Can we address this issue for the next release (it has been around for a > while already)? IMO no and hence my -1 vote. However it’s up to the PMC as a whole to decide not me, a -1 vote is not a veto and all a vote need to pass is 3 +1 votes and more +1 votes than -1 votes. People can change their votes by voting again. That being said I should also point out that releases must comply with ASF policy - in this case see [1][2].
