There is history behind the Incubator from before 2004... Consider that the
Incubator itself was created in late 2002 with:
"""
charged with
accepting new products into the Foundation, providing guidance
and support to help each new product engender their own
collaborative community, educating new developers in the
philosophy and guidelines for collaborative development as
defined by the members of the Foundation, and proposing to the
board the promotion of such products to independent PMC
status once their community has reached maturity.
"""
I am NOT discounting the importance of legal oversight. Far from it. Our legal
protection is semi-worthless unless we take it seriously and ensure the correct
checks. My position is rather that, IMO, most of the issues that podlings face,
and even graduated TLPs, are not issues related to the legal matters but in
understanding, groking and embracing The Apache Way, which was kind of the
point at the very beginning.
If you consistently dilute a vaccine, after awhile, it will become useless.
