The community also may choose to take action regardless of the results of Apache Legal's review. Obviously any such action should be done in accordance with procedures laid out by Apache Legal, however.

I note the following statement in the original incubation submission: It is unlikely that EMC, OpenText, Memex, or IBM would grant Apache-license-compatible use of these client libraries. Thus, the expectation is that users of these connectors obtain the necessary client libraries from the owners prior to building or using the corresponding connector. An alternative would be to undertake a clean-room implementation of the client API's, which may well yield suitable results in some cases (LiveLink, Memex, FileNet), while being out of reach in others (Documentum). Conditional compilation, for the short term, is thus likely to be a necessity. Is it only the Memex connector that now has this problem? Do we need do a clean-room implementation for Memex? For any of the others? FWIW, I don't see a Google Connector for Memex.

This is about the connector code itself. And, yes, only Memex has this problem, because all other connectors that were developed with the help of contractors used third-party contractors who used the typical arrangement that the code they developed belonged to MetaCarta. Memex was the only connector developed using the professional services of the target repository company.
