Hi,

 a) is GORA ASL licensed?

it is. see http://github.com/enis/gora/blob/master/LICENSE.txt

I confirm that the plan is definitely to move it to the incubator or
possibly as a Hadoop subproject.

this seems like an unnecessary step. There has been an enormous amount of
changes between the nutchbase branch and the version on GitHub - pretty much
EVERY class has been modified + a lot of classes have been removed etc...
the nutchbase branch on svn is completely obsolete so I suggest that simply
get rid of the nutchbase branch and move the code to trunk directly (after
doing c below of course)

see comment above about the license.

see above

OK with everything else
