i disagree. for one thing, this is basically stating that the proposal isn't sufficient. i disagree with that on principle; if the proposal isn't enough to allow us to make up our minds, propping it up with the code seems makeshift. for another thing, the asf *does* have a higher standard: we require transfer of ownership and ip. it makes perfect sense to me that a company may be willing to transfer those to the asf, but *not* be willing to throw them into the open -- which is the potential if the code is exposed before the acceptance and transfer. - -- #ken P-)} Ken Coar, Sanagendamgagwedweinini http://Ken.Coar.Org/ Author, developer, opinionist http://Apache-Server.Com/ "Millennium hand and shrimp!" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iQCVAwUBQPJiFJrNPMCpn3XdAQHM7wP8CxzWkngqfh7hA88MAmI8JTloVv0dHDP7 X1/uHGQz1wBZ/ZxavOb1oTHfo+n9AkJnVq5TnjTutYymX8W7nEAF8YNG2OfBILoC zlPqWyL51jUVNvtI2h0DdgPjizb5B66OzhTF1UT280W/lg6chkom5eV75a0kgquv XE/9iyHq/VQ= =Seyj -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
