Sure. Did the PMC do any vetting for JIRA or Confluence?
To my knowledge, those are both being run by (and licensed to) the
ASF, not Geronimo. Am I wrong?
I believe so... though I need to check what the exact text of the
granted license is to be sure.
Though... I'm not sure that it really matters. I can get them to
reissue the license using "Apache Software Foundation" as the
licensee, looks like that is what Confluence has. Though this setup
is a little different that JIRA and Confluence, as this is only for
Geroniomo related projects... and I have not plans or intent to open
up this particular install for ASF-wide usage... though AH can
definitely support that... but I'm not heading in that direction
now... or anytime soon.
I also just asked Atlassian for the full-text of there open-source
EULA and they told me they don't have one specific for there open-
source licenses. They just pointed me at:
http://www.atlassian.com/about/licensing/license.jsp
But that page has like 14 EULAs on it.
From talking to the UrbanCode folks, they too do not have a specific
license for open-source use, but said "Apache uses JIRA, so I'm sure
a similar license would work for us too".
As you note, AntHill is going to be very similar to both of those.
I doubt that there's going to be an issue. And don't mean to be
picking on you (happy to pick on somebody else :-P, I just think
it's a good idea for this type of information to be shared with and
evaluated by the project...
Its okay... I agree with you.
