It is IP cleared.
One of my sister projects to be imported currently uses Hibernate (LGPL)
which needs to be removed as a dependency; this was identified in the
proposal.
The /asf/repos SVN repository is considered entirely public. Folks can
get dumps of it, that will not sit behind the ASF authz file, so
anything that you put in there will be visible to some folks.
Remember that the rules for putting stuff into SVN are much more relaxed
than those for making releases. So long as you aren't breaking
copyright, you can put stuff into SVN.
What is the stuff that you don't feel comfortable having public?
The codebases being imported currently live on SourceForge, so are
already public.
Mark's suggestion (Mark is our champion) to import this stuff into a
different area than trunk seemed reasonable to us, for two reasons:
1) It helps us separate out code with a non-ASF licensed dependencies.
2) It also lets us make sure we get things like imports and class
renames sorted out before we move it into trunk. One of the conditions
from Naked Objects Group Ltd (who've granted an CCLA for this code) is
that the product is no longer called "Naked Objects"; that means
removing all references to "NakedObject" in the codebase (eg
NakedObjectException -> IsisException).
Long term, I don't myself see any reason per se to mark that area
private, other than to avoid confusion from anyone informally browsing
the SVN repo and wondering which is the main trunk. But I think Mark
has also responded to your point.
