The risk, or management concern if you will, I am trying to address is
liability. Think SCO & Unix. The thought process here is: how do we know
it's truly open source and we won't be sued at some point down the line
for infringing someone's commercial copyright? This would make our
exposure large because we're looking at Coldsrping for inclusion within
a commercial product.
So what I was hoping to see from posting to the Coldspring list is
several larger players step forward to say they're using them. Then if
the legality came into question, there is safety in larg(er) numbers. At
least so goes the thinking here.
As far as quality and functionality are concerned, I've implemented
consulting projects with both Reactor and Coldspring without issue. So
that is not a concern for me nor others here I think. In that case, the
liability question is not a concern, because the projects are one-offs.
So I need to justify Coldspring specifically, not Spring, in order to
implement in my environment.

First, I am using Spring in a very high-traffic banking site in

pluggable bits of a small framework I wrote: basically for XML-based
configuration.
I think more of an argument comes from who is using Spring for Java.
There you'll find heaps of big players in the enterprise space. A
quick search on a major employment site will no doubt turn up many
positions with Spring, Struts, and or Hibernate as a required skill.

Search through Sean Corfield's blog (corfield.org). I'm pretty sure
he's made mention of some apps he uses MG, ColdSpring and Reactor in
there. Mostly internal stuff at adobe I think.

I am trying to convince my manager to use Coldspring in our product.
Toward that end I am attempting to identify other commercial
services or
products that use Coldspring. Can anyone on the list tell me about what
they're doing along these lines or point to people who are?
