It's as much of a rule as we want to make it. Some popular Apache packages that are not TLPs: - org.apache.derby - org.apache.torque - org.apache.yoko - org.apache.xbean - org.apache.woden - org.apache.neethi If you use a clear brand, it's not a problem. If you do "org.apache.naming", that's awfully frowned upon. :) If we want to change package names on code we can do that, but there certainly won't be anyone forcing us to do that. -David
