Well, eventually they would have to be Apache-licensed if we wanted to distribute them. > I understand contributors would have to sign Individual Contributor License > Agreement. This is correct. However, in Apache lingo "Contributor" is the guy who actually contributes code which eventually ends up in the Apache SVN. > In the mean time I'd suggest to put this text on the Contributor Wiki page: > ----- > As JSPWiki is under Apache license we ask you to put your contributed > plugins under Apache license, too.

ASL only governs distribution, not use. So you can use whatever code you want together with JSPWiki, no matter how it's licensed. However, the Apache JSPWiki project can only put stuff in the SVN which has been licensed under the ASL, and the contributor has signed a Software Grant or a Contributor License Agreement. But it might be a nice idea to start a separate project on one of the places you mention to gather the plugins into a single place and help building code which is not directly maintained by JSPWiki committers. /Janne
