Mark, speaking with my IBM hat on, I will say that as I promised
yesterday to you, I'll certainly get a discussion started inside
IBM, but can't answer this now.
Also, please understand that sometimes things can move very slowly.
I'd like to re-clarify my statement as I don't wish to create any
false expectations or misinterpretations. What I was trying to say :
"I'm simply going to communicate this question inside
IBM, and can promise no answer - we will go forward
with what we have now under the terms we have now"
IBM's contribution was made only under the Apache License, and there
are no plans for doing anything else with respect to a change or
addition in licensing.
