thanks Andy for these comments. The thing about AGPL3 queries, wow never thought of that :)
we'll clarify these aspects for the next version. WRT to making it into an apache project, well most definitely i dont see it as sufficiently related to any23 to make it part of it. This could be much moreof interest to Apache Jena? maybe i should ask on that list? i feel such a newbie at successfully getting a project our as opensource. :) i mean we have released several things before, but this one i really care for it to be picked up.
