I think the question is more along the lines of what else would be required to produce a "canonical" release of Apache Netbeans. If everything that is required is being donated -- I think we're good. IOW, the project must be self-contained and not depend on anything still left behind the firewall to do on-going development and most important releases. E.g. if I send you a patch -- you can't reject it on the grounds that some test behind Oracle's frewall I've never seen failed. Stuff like that. On a related note, I haven't seen it explicitly mentioned in the proposal, but I hope you guys do realize that once this project is accepted the Netbeans brand belongs to Apache. IOW, if Oracle or anybody else ever want to have an independent product based on Apache Netbeans they will have to call it something else.
