Michael,
I'd take some time to catch up on some mailing lists like
general@incubator before passing judgement like that. It's rather hasty.

I agree, license issues are important and it sounds like the ASF policy
doesn't leave a lot of room for interpretation

I'm with Sean on this one. Ignoring now known licensing issues because we
hadn't handled them in the past is not a valid excuse.

As members of the PMC, we're required to verify all releases we approve
of
meet ASF licensing policy[1], so I don't consider the issues "minor".
Mistakenly violating policy in the past is a different kind of problem
than
moving forward to knowingly violate it.
In particular, not all of the bundled works have copyrights that are
covered under a donation to the Foundation. If we distribute e.g. the
accumulo-core binary jar in its current state the foundation will be
committing willful copyright infringement. The binary tarball (and I'd
imagine the rpm/deb files) have similar problems because we'd be
violating
the terms of the included works' respective licenses.

I think the license issues are relatively small compared to the
bugfixes,
especially since we're really trying to close out 1.5.x development.
So,
given the options, I'd prefer to pass RC1, and make the license fixes
in
1.6.x and later, as applicable.

Thanks again for taking the time to inspect things so thoroughly,
Sean.
Others who have already voted, I'd ask for your opinion on whether
we
should sink this release (instead of me blindly going by majority
rule).
Personally, I'm presently of the opinion that, given the severity
of
the
bug(s) fixed in this release already, RC1 should pass. Considering
that
we've been making releases like this for quite some time w/o issue
and
1.5 is all but dead, let's push this release out, (again) table 1.5
and
then make these improvements to 1.6 before we cut an RC there there
when
we have time to thoroughly vet the changes (instead of the 11th
hour
of
a vote).
If there's a need for lengthy discussion, let's break this off the
VOTE
thread (I leave this message here for visibility).
