First thing; One can't VETO a release, only codebase changes. So the above is 
a vote against release, to be counted normally. However, most projects tries 
to resolve any disagreements to reach consensus and not force through 
decisions, although sometimes necessary. Nevertheless... 

Second thing; The reason for the negative vote is a somewhat non-compliant 
release format.

 * LICENSE and NOTICE must be in root directory of the tarballs of the source.
   Apache is about Open SOURCE, and there are no requirements to distribute
   a pre-built binary. However, if that is done, the same files should go into
   the root of that binary tarball. The situation for Maven produced artifacts
   are still a little bit unclear, but I think we will end up with the same
   requirement there.

 * The org.osgi.core says in NOTICE that it includes files from the OSGi
   Alliance, but there is no license included nor referenced.

 * Peter Kriens "All rights reserved." copyright requires a license, which 
   is not referenced.


Otherwise, EXCELLENT to see the progress!
