That sounds good to me. Let's see what the others on the team have to
say. Will we have to try to find ASF members who would be willing to
provide oversight, or will they be assigned by the board?
Thanks for the support, ant.

Yes its no good at all.
What i think we should do is try for becoming a probationary TLP. A
pTLP is a relatively new concept at the ASF where a podling becomes
its own self governing TLP with a few other ASF members and/or board
members providing some oversight for a trial period until then become
a fully fledged TLP. Its an alternative to incubating.
The next board meeting is in 3 weeks, Wed 19th of November, so it
couldn't happen till then. We'd discuss it with the board now and get
it added to the agenda.
Its a further 3 week delay but this approach would mean after then
you'd then be fully self governing and could do what you like with out
all the Incubator delays and obstructions.
What do you say, if that sounds agreeable i'll start it happening.

Hi ant,
I think this project is in trouble. I do not feel comfortable the way things
are going with respect to this release and in the bigger picture, the way
the incubation process works. Its been close to a week since the legal JIRA
got the go-ahead, but there has been no vote yet on the release. Please
advise as to what we should do to push this process along.
Thanks,
Vinayak

Hi ant,
Thanks for pushing on this. Its been a few days and there seems to be no
movement on any public lists. What should be our next step to get the one
last vote to make the release happen?
Thanks,
Vinayak

Its fine as it is, the text that is already included in the LICENSE file
satisfies the attribution requirements. Requiring text in the NOTICE
file
is only for very particular purposes so is not normally required, this
was
clarified in LEGAL-62 and the legal-discuss@ discussion around that
JIRA.
The DBLP README you point to also is clear about what they want -
"a simple note refering to DBLP and/or a link back to DBLP's website is
sufficient"
Which is exactly what the VXQuery LICENSE file has.
Lets wait just a short while longer and then i'll get the JIRA close and
ping back on general@ to see if the release can now get another +1 vote.

After Craig's and Chris' +1 on the JIRA, I think that we are down to
the
questions
1) if we only need the license in the LICENSE file (as in the current
RC)
or if
we also need an entry in the NOTICE file and
2) if 4.2c and d of the http://opendatacommons.org/**
licenses/by/1.0/require<http://opendatacommons.org/licenses/by/1.0/require>us
to also put
http://dblp.uni-trier.de/xml/**README.txt<http://dblp.uni-trier.de/xml/README.txt>into
the distribution.
What do you think?
Thanks,

send
another email to general@?

Yes to all those. Well ok I'm not sure if its usual, but its
certainly
possible, and it should address Dave's concerns and even if it it
doesn't i
think it should be enough to get a +1 from some other Incubator PMC
member
which is all thats really needed.

Hi Ant,
Seeing your comments on the JIRA I'm wondering if it is
possible/usual
to
close legal JIRA's by lazy consensus. And, if so, do you think that
this
would address Dave's concern?
Thanks,
Till

Yes, those assumptions are right.
Marvin already added some nice and detailed comments on the license
and
the use
of the database in VXQuery to the JIRA issue.
I've just added another comment stressing that modification of
database
hasn't
happened and most likely won't happen.
Thanks,
Till

Thanks for the notification. And well done!
I understand that "database" to be basically an XML file. And we
are
distributing this
- unmodified
- and as a part of the source release only
Are these assumptions right? If so, I propose to note this on
the
issue.
Thanks,
Jochen
