Sure. We can do that.

would it be at least possible to link to the log4perl stuff from the logging services website? perhaps under some title like "related non-asf software" or something?

Yes, that is the main hurdle.

I do not see a problem in this case.

Don't worry about it. I'll take care of it in due time.

absolutely.

You have to move both the CVS and the docs. The whole things does not make much sense otherwise, or does it?

Hmm. Bummer. The ASF will not host anything which is not ASL licensed. So the license would need to be changed. I do not know how much of a problem it is for the log4perl community but I know for sure that the ASF will not accept anything not under the ASL, double licensing is also not acceptable. I am sorry, that is just the way that it is.
