I did not mean to say that slf4j-taglib is not a QOS.ch project. Matt
Humphreys donated slf4j-taglib to QOS.ch. However, QOS.ch is not in a
position to donate the code to Apache. By analogy, if person P donates
code C to Apache, Apache is not in a position to donate C to some
other foundation, say Eclipse, without P's consent, at least that is
my understanding of how donations work. I'd be glad to reconsider, if
you could have someone at [email protected] to confirm that QOS.ch
is in a position to (re)donate to Apache. Note that the QOS.ch iCLA is
identical to Apache's iCLA word for word except for the obvious
s/Apache/QOS.ch/.
Anyway, your easiest bet is to have Matt Humphreys directly donate the code.
I hope this sheds some light,

Hello Nick,
Slf4j-aglib was developed by Matt Humphreys <[email protected]> based
on earlier work done by Joseph Ottinger and James Strachan in Jakarta
Commons Log Taglib. Please ask Matt Humphreys to donate slf4j-taglib
code to Apache.
BTW, the source code for slf4j-taglib is available at:
https://github.com/ceki/slf4j-taglib
I hope this helps,

Though the Log4j 2 tag library will obviously have some differences
from slf4j-taglib, I can see how there may be some existing code that
could be very useful to us. I'd like to go ahead and ask permission
from the SLF4J developers to use code from slf4j-taglib for this
project. The licenses are compatible (both Apache 2.0), so that won't
be an issue. All I need is an email from y'all granting us permission.
Also, there's the issue that I can't find the source code for
slf4j-taglib. It's not in the JARs or ZIPs available for download from
the SLF4J website, it's not on the github repository, and it's not in
Maven. Could anyone point me to its location?
Thanks in advance,
Nick Williams
