Two things - the mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] is more geared towards this and filled with people who actually enjoy these things. Secondly - the license you see in the above case is *NOT* the license the ASF needs to be able ot distribute. What you see is the license under which you, the end user, gets the code. This is not nessesarily the same as the license needed by an entity such as the ASF to re-distrubute code. In the open source world, e.g. with an ASF license, it happens to be that those two are identical - but in the general case, and sepcifically in the case of SUN, that is not so. For this reason we actually have several contracts negotiated out of band with SUN to this effect.
