Pivotal are asking me to agree to an "evaluation license" which I cannot view before I sign up. So I have to review the privacy policy first.
Pivotal's privacy policy goes a *long* way beyond the point I am comfortable with when getting open source software (or deciding whether I want to agree with an evaluation license I can't read). I guess your defense could be that it's not open source yet, that's fine, but you are asking me, as an IPMC Member, to make a judgement on the validity of the proposal but I can't evaluate the code since I can't access it or the license under which I am allowed to view it. Most importantly, the "export and license obligations" you mention are something that have to go away before we can accept the project (or more accurately before it can graduate). Since I can't evaluate the code or the license I have no way of evaluating whether this is possible. There is no mention of such an item under "known risks" or the "crypotography" section of the proposal so what's this "export" stuff about (assuming the license thing is the evaluation license)? Given the points above I do not see how I can evaluate this proposal in its current form.

Unfortunately, > singing up is the only way to go right now. Why is it problematic for you? The software currently is NOT under ALv2. It is available under the evaluation license. The whole point of the proposal is to make it available under ALv2 as an Incubating project. Our apologies for making folks click through the evaluation license.
