Hi Chesnay,
Yes I came by the user thread almost at the same time you mentioned it
here :)
That was what I thought as well that we could stick to the last ASFv2
version as long as no CVE pops up. Alternatively moving to an
hypothetical ASF fork would be the easiest path for us.

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.

This is already being discussed on the user ML.

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.
