At this point I think the AH usage is unofficial... something I have
been trying to get working. Once I get it to run our testsuite,
build all our projects and dependent components and run the tck
tests... once I get there, then I will officially recommend to the
PMC that we endorse and use AH as the official automated build too
for Geronimo.
But right now I'm still working out the details, testing how well it
will work.
I can mail the license text to the PMC in the mean-time for review if
that is what you would like.

As I mentioned in the initial email, the AntHill license is very

I had hopped to get a more perfect and complete system before I
brought this to the community... though I'm not sure that would
have mattered much. Probably more that the tool is not open-
source is why you even mention this. If I did something similar
with CC or Continuum no one would even mention it. Too bad
neither of those tools is comprehensive enough to do the job
though... but maybe if we wait for a few more years they will be
closer.
No, I wasn't really concerned about the tool not being open-source.
More concerned about what the license is... I saw "Licensed TO
Apache Geronimo TO BUILD OPEN-SOURCE PROJECTS ONLY". I'd like to be
sure the license terms (restrictions, etc) are communicated with
the group. So, we can understand the terms and ensure we follow
them -- you never know when the big one will hit the Bay Area... :-P
