Hi again Dennis;
I stopped using AOO's bugzilla after an unconfortable incident.
Since the PMC was notified twice about it, I will just make it public.
You should take a look at:

Hi Dennis;
I find your posting somewhat confusing as the topic would indicate
something
different from the body of the message.
I agree in observation 5 that the ASF (actually I can only speak
partially for AOO)
does *not* police the use of ALv2 content by third parties. This, of
course, doesn't
mean that third parties are at liberty of ignoring the license.
Considering your personal remark are you referring to clause 4 (a) and
(d)? IANAL
and that's someone else's job at the ASF, but I didn't find those in
the root tree
of a certain third party, which is where I would expect them to be. I
do think there
is at least a willing effort to deceive the public opinion by hiding
the presence of
ALv2 code and it's extent.
Back to the topic of ALv2 dependencies. I think you are aware that I
notified
the PMC repeatedly about licensing concerns. I hope the situation is
solved
before the next release as it may be an issue. I personally don't plan to
interfere with the release process at all, but I think the PMC
understands
that unlike third parties, IP issues are taken very seriously for ASF
releases.
Regards,
Pedro.
