Hue is Apache licensed, so that isn't an issue. The issue is that Bigtop is planning on distributing non-Apache software for the primary purpose of providing it to their users. It seems to me pretty fundamental that Apache projects should only distribute Apache software except as a dependency. Bigtop is only including Hue to provide it to their users with no dependency at all. It would be great if Cloudera were to contribute Hue to Apache. Unless they do, I really don't think it is appropriate for us to distribute standalone binary packages of their project from Apache's servers. -- Owen --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
