I think, if you look at the DRAT diagrams that Chris Mattmann provided up-thread, there is another factor that can figure into the someone asking the original question.
If someone, especially a student or recent-graduate, has skills in a particular development and language approach, and is looking for a project where they might be able to contribute (and do some open-source resume building), having Java chops unlocks pay-dirt here. Also, ASF projects are friendly to new contributors (and may support GSOC proposals). Hence, some of the network effect. It would be interesting to know what contrast there might be in something like the DRAT analysis of (non-ASF-mirror) GitHub repositories for project that use ALv2 or a Category A license. - Dennis > -----Original Message----- > From: Mohammad Noureldin [mailto:nour.moham...@gmail.com] > Sent: Sunday, March 19, 2017 13:23 > To: dev@community.apache.org > Subject: Re: Apache and Java [ ... ] > > @Spaghetti Roulette: I am wondering why did this confuse you in the > first > place ?
