Understood. This is a hosted service they're providing to a wide range of open-source projects, including many at Apache.
Of course, it's in their interest as well. If you think Apache would be interested in hosting it themselves, we could pursue that -- I bet they'd provide the license -- but I don't see a reason to turn down the free hosting! But I wasn't promoting it; my point is that it helps promote us, because it makes the code show up in search engines better, and generally be more visible.
