But fair enough, different target audiences.
For the time being we don't have to do anything. We'll just stay on
2.6.x and see how things unfold.
We don't really care about new Akka features after all.
If a fork pops up we could switch to that, otherwise we can look into
alternative libraries and maybe implement certain things ourselves.
As you mentioned I've filed a ticket with LEGAL, inquiring about whether
the option in the BSL to carve out a special use grant changes the
situation, but AFAICT at the moment it wouldn't change anything.

Hi all,
I'd like to share a concerning news. I've just read that Akka will
move from ASFv2 license to BSLv1.1 (1)
I guess this license is considered Category X (2) by the ASF and
cannot be included in ASF projects.
Let's discuss possible solutions.
Best
Etienne
