The real issue is not the reliability of the software. It's the reliability of the licensing of the software. The ASF name stands for stronger guarantees about your rights to use the IP than most podlings can give when they join the incubator. Talking about reliability and production is not only probably untrue, it could also distract from the real risks. Best, Myrle IPMC Member
