Very good point. It cannot be the ASF, and cocoondev.org isn't a legal entity that can hold a copyright. Considering that rhino+cont's single author is Chris, he could be the copyright holder, but community-wise this doesn't sound good.

And in the same area, what will be (or can be) its license? Is it possible to relicense the fork or should we keep MPL?

IIRC, MPL 1.0 is tainted - 1.1 is not. And Rhino consists of source code with a variety of license headers attached: a legal mess IMO. Maybe we should ask for a to-be-forked donation from Mozilla to get a "legally stable" snapshot to work upon.


My personal problem though is that I have a bit of an ethical issue asking for a (donation) favor from an open source community, knowing that we won't properly community-shepherd their code anyhow - preferring our own fork for obvious reasons.

Anyway, I'm +1 for the renaming, which, since the fork does exist, will make it clear and visible, along with solving the technical problems in WS and WL.

Maybe we could rename it into "Cocoon Scripting Engine" while we are at it - as this seems to be a common usage pattern. ;-)
