Hi Muhammad, What exactly does "acquiring" mean? I don't think that closing the source code or changing the licence will work. Apache POI welcomes any type of contribution / collaboration as long as it remains an ASF project. The Openize team is welcome to contribute in any form or sponsor the project.
