Second, I wonder about the proposed governance and logic of this whole 'java package id rules' business. Here's a scenario: someone from outside Apache fills out the form, creates a project, and *forks some Apache project into it.* Bingo, 'org.apache.*'. What group of volunteers is signed up to notice and police this?
Isn't that covered by clauses 4.2-4.4 and 6 of the license? I thought that if you forked an Apache licensed project, then you need to flag up the changes (4.2) and attribute where it came from (4.3/4.4), plus you're restricted in what you can call the fork (6).
