Dima,

Thanks for the advice.

This is only my pet project. I started it off three years ago from my 
experiment with Java performance. AntsDB is not like log4j or commons that you 
can throw in your project easily. TBH, I not expecting it will achieve 
acceptance or become an apache project without a company backing it up despite 
license. For the time being, I am pretty happy that it proves Java based 
solution can achieve C/C++ level of performance, which is my first goal 
initially. Next I am trying to see if it can offer a different solution to 
tackle the transaction and consistency in a distributed system. I hope this 
project can inspire some new ideas that’s all I am wishing for. If some 
organization can create derivative work on top of it and make a profit, it is 
even better. God bless them. 

Regards
water
