Hey all, We are interested in hosting old svn releases (1.0 thru 1.6.current, maybe pre-1.0 tarballs if we can find them) on the archive.apache.org host. There are two salient points here:
1) the license is effectively Apache 1.1 (with a text replace of the name), thus it matches the "no more restrictive than the Apache license" mantra that we apply to non-ASF-produced dependencies 2) the "copyright owner"(*) is not the ASF I believe it should be okay to host these tarballs (and signature files and whatnot) on archive.apache.org. Historically, we have hosted plenty of non-ASF software there and within the mirror system. As a simple example, httpd has embedded a copy of PCRE for many years, and somewhere in httpd or APR is a copy of Expat. We do have a "dependencies" tarball that is typically produced, but that has LGPL software (Neon) in there, among others. We do NOT propose to host these dependency tarballs. Thanks, -g (*) the true owner doesn't matter, and could be a debate in itself; suffice it to say that the files don't say "Apache Software Foundation" in them, but all the code *does* happen to be covered by grants and CLAs to the ASF; it just hasn't been mass-relabeled for historical preservation (and sigs!)
