In my opinion, yes. I reserve the right to change my mind based on further input from others ;-)

Fascinating discussion, who started this thread? ;-) On a more serious note (actually, very serious one): On Fri, Aug 21, 2015 at 9:13 AM, Ross Gardler <ross.gard...@microsoft.com> wrote: > Our policy is that the combined works are RELEASED under ALv2.

Here's what it is: even though from a purely licensing standpoint a content of a source code repo (a snapshot but NOT in a Maven sense) most of the time happens to be licensed under ALv2 (verification at the point of contribution) we, as a foundation, refuse the right to ANYBODY to call it a release of Apache FOO. We use our trademark power for that. It has nothing to do with the license itself. On the other hand, somebody taking said snapshot and releasing it under the name Project BOO, licensed under the ALv2. Is something that both the ALv2 license AND our trademark policy are totally fine with. Thanks, Roman. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
