The HttpClient team are looking to start using the clover test coverage reporting tool to analyze and monitor our test cases. Clover is a commercial product which provides free licenses to open source projects upon request (and obviously at their discretion).
Currently there is some uncertainty about the best way to request a license for an apache project. The options seem to be (but are certainly not limited to):
1. A committer on a project requests a license specifically for that project.
2. A request is sent to the PMC for them to request a license specifically for a project.
3. The jakarta project as a whole (through it's PMC) requests a license for the entire jakarta project so any jakarta sub-project could then use clover.
4. Apache requests a license as a whole (through the board?) so any apache project could use clover.
Now, since The Cortex (who make clover) generally want to issue licenses for a specific project they may not agree to option 3 or 4 at all, however I don't believe anyone has actually asked them about it yet either.
Further information on clover can be found at:

There is a licensing link on the side bar.
Also, bear in mind that I haven't taken this to the Jakarta PMC as yet mostly due to the presence of option 4 above. I'm happy to have the question redirected to the Jakarta PMC specifically if that's deemed the most appropriate course of action.
Regards,
Adrian Sutton.
