Please consider >pushing that repo into public view. IMO, Apache Flex already set the precedence. There were lots of pieces of Adobe Flex code that weren’t open source prior to incubation. Only two or three of the initial set of committers had ever written a line of that code. The technology was being handed off from an in-house development effort to a new community-driven effort so the vast majority of initial committers were consumers of the code, not authors of the code. The in-house legal department helped determine that the private code was likely to be suitable for conversion to the Apache License. I don’t know if any of that applies here, but I just wanted to point that out. -Alex --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
