During incubation there are rules and regulations about releases (particularly to do with marking them with the label 'incubating', but also requiring a vote from the Incubator PMC). After incubation is complete, the current wicket folks will create a PMC (project management committee) and will be responsible themselves for deciding their release schedule and voting upon it. License restrictions: all code must be Apache License compatible. This is for the benefit of end users, as that gives them maximum flexibility. Otherwise, you can use stuff from wicket-stuff which will stay at SourceForge and is a place where non ASL code can exist. So, as I say, during incubation we can expect some pain and restriction. Once graduated, the current Wicket devs will pretty much be in charge of their destiny. Does that answer your questions sufficiently?
