So, does that mean that Jakarta Commons Proxy will have to go through the Incubator? Right now, it's a commons sandbox project, so it's not officially supported. The code first lived in my "syringe" project I created over at java.net. It was all developed by me under the Apache License 2.0. Will Commons Proxy have to go through the Incubator to get into commons proper? Or, should it be in the incubator now?

If the SVN tree was always on ASF infrastructure, the code was always under the Apache License, and the committers were all ASF committers, then no trip through the incubator is necessary. If any ONE of these things are not true (example: code on CodeHaus created by ASF committers with Apache license), then incubator needs to be involved to ensure that there is a proper audit trail. - Sam Ruby --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
