I'm very sorry about this situation. In the Incubator we've been hoping to avoid cases like this where someone on the IPMC comes up with a veto based on some new or previously unclear interpretation of Apache policies. Having such issues block releases that were previously considered OK is very unfortunate and I can only apologize for this situation. I'm hoping to drive the discussion on general@ to some reasonable consensus on what the actual problem is here and how affected projects should deal with it. Meanwhile, unless there's a rush to get the 0.5 release out, I wouldn't recommend taking too hasty actions in terms of CONNECTORS-437. BR, Jukka Zitting
