Hello all,
We'd like to propose Wave for entry into the ASF incubator.
Did Google have any trademarks on Wave and are they allowing them to be
transferred to the ASF?
Certainly looks like they do have a trademark on "Google Wave", I don't
know if that affects this project though, since as far as I can tell,
it's changing names to "Wave in a Box" ?

Also, it seems they have already granted a perpetual license for any
patents on the Wave protocol:

I'm no lawyer, so no idea what all this means practically, but I think
it would be a good idea to clarify this in the proposal.
Cheers,
