Data Point #3: Need clear guidlines "3 people who can +1 a release, from 3 different companies"?
That issue was addressed earlier with respect to XMLBeans. I don't know
that there really is a definitive answer other than that we want to make
sure that there is sufficient oversight and independence from any given
employer.
The trouble I have here is that I like to believe that company affiliation is left at the door when it comes to governance, and is irrelevant when it comes to technology in that of your employer wants you to implement the Frooble Device driver, you implement it, as long as there aren't valid technical reasons not to.
IOW, as long as employment considerations don't enter into decisions about governance, it's fine. If it does happen, the board can step in, or someone can fork it.
I think this is even less of an issue when it becomes a part of a larger, healthy PMC.
