So, Stefano, since you have your PMC chairman hat on, tell me if we can create an incubator project I will gladly commit the new code to it. If not, what other options do you suggest.
You took part of cocoon and forked it.
You didn't say anything about this, you just acted and announced it.
The ASF license gives you the right to fork a project and since "XMLForm" is not covered by the cocoon license, you are fully entitled to call it so.
It is enough that you:
1) place the cocoon license in your distribution
2) change the package names from org.apache.xmlform to anything that doesn't start with org.apache
3) grant copyright of the code you own full rights to to yourself
or
1) stop distributing it and work with us for a solution.
If one of the two is done, I can remove my PMC chair hat and put it back in the closet. From a PMC legal oversight standpoint, there is no difference between one move or another.
- o -
Now, I take my PMC chair hat off. I'm no more an ASF officer. I'm acting as simple cocoon committer, like you and many others here.
Instead of you choosing by yourself what is good for that part of the Cocoon code, I would like to see a proposal discussed by the community.
Stefano.
