Are they compatible or incompatible licenses? One is a matter of policy, the other is possibly a matter of legal necessity. If the former, then I don't see an issue, per se, although others may object on the grounds that everything we release should be under our license. And there is the risk of a slippery slope. If the latter, well now we really should get a concrete ASF level reply from either legal-discuss or legal-internal. So that's my 2 coppers. --- Noel - To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org

Question about the incubator and non-ASL code
If, hypothetically, a project was considering entering the incubator, and if that project had an -extras repository for community-developed plugins to the project, and if some of those plugins were under non- ASL licenses, what would be the policy? Could there be an -extras repository containing non-ASL code, if that was never part of the official release? Or would that be required to be housed somewhere off- site in a SourceForge or GoogleCode or the like? -- "Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away." (Philip K. Dick)
