Hi Sam and Everyone, I think we had enough discussion about licensing for the artefacts, archetypes and templates and we cannot get conclusion without calling for votes. JIRA vote plugins seems available for this vote. https://studio.plugins.atlassian.com/wiki/display/VOTE/JIRA+Voters+and+Watcher+Plugin https://studio.plugins.atlassian.com/wiki/display/JOUT/Poll+Plugin
