To understand why WANdisco wants Bloodhound to be an Apache project, rather than their own, please read their CEO's message: https://groups.google.com/group/trac-dev/msg/5bc628afdd5a4ff3 They approach some things wrong, but I agree with David's sentiment in that message: the ASF is the best way to create a long-lived, healthy, and vendor-neutral project. There is a strong assumption that a community will evolve around Apache Bloodhound, and that is what the Incubator is for. Most podlings arrive with the hope and assumption that a community is out there, just waiting to be discovered.
