This is true, but would you call that collaboration? I think that it is the very nature of Apache that anyone can take source code from our projects and reuse them on whatever fashion they wish. I'm not opposed to saying that explicitly in the wiki, but I was thinking that the proposal is a good place to note any places where we foresee collaboration that goes beyond the downstream rights that are inherent in the license. In other words, ASF madates the license. But what additional collaborative activities does the *project* foresee doing? -Rob > > On Fri, Jun 3, 2011 at 14:03, <robert_w...@us.ibm.com> wrote: > > I'm perceiving that we're circling around on the same points with no new > > options coming up.
