The way this 'debate' has continued has been very embarrassing -
It just makes me wonder why anyone would consider donating code to
Apache in the future ...

the contributor has offered to donate to Apache & complete the
necessary software grants & IP clearance and to work with us on
integrating it into ServiceMix.
I assume we'd all get to see the code under an Apache License
before deciding to accept. How else could we vote it in?

I'll go out on a limb here :
[X] -1 I object because: .......
... I think that a BPEL engine is something that spans many of the
WS and SOA oriented projects at the ASF, such as ServiceMix,
Tuscany, Synapse, Agila, etc...
However, that's not my main reason, because honestly, if I was the
only one that cared about that, I wouldn't ever attempt to stand in
the way of people wanting to do cool things.
However, this proposal has sent up far too many red flags, has
alienated too many people, and is causing too much of a bad feeling
in people, for ServiceMix, for Geronimo and for the ASF in general.
I'd suggest you make a big effort to cool things down and get a
broad conversation going, over at [EMAIL PROTECTED], drive to
consensus, and then regroup and try again.
