There are a few reasons to not jump to this conclusion just yet, not the least of which is that the ASF has not even voted to accept this project for incubation. It is also possible that there are enough TDF people who are willing to accept the Apache License and would prefer that these codebases not further diverge. That being said, if we do (however reluctantly) come to the point where we need to make the conclusion you described above, lets see if we can work together to produce a joint statement to that effect. In particular, lets put all past mistakes in what each of has said (or failed to say) publicly behind us. - Sam Ruby --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
