[Just to take a stab at a Jakarta Commons response, from the conversations that occured when Apache Commons was created.]
While Apache Commons was definitely inspired by the Jakarta Commons project, there has been no word from the board of directors that Jakarta Commons projects must move to Apache Commons, and no Jakarta Commons project has made a move towards the Apache Commons project. Indeed, I'm not even sure if any form of decision has been made on how a Jakarta Commons project is supposed to decide to move [as all Commons developers could have voting rights]. Currently Jakarta Commons projects are going about business as normal and many committers are listening to the Apache Commons mail list so as to try to ensure that movement from Jakarta Commons to Apache Commons, if it should happen, is as unchanging in environment and style as possible. Currently Apache Commons and Jakarta Commons are two separate entities, with only listeners to the mail list and Geir Magnusson Jr. on the PMC in common. Sorry I didn't have a simple answer to your simple question :) Maybe the Apache Commons site needs to try and make this clear on their FAQ.
