So Phoenix will go out of Avalon, but retain the Apache license? Or will it get a new license? Or will there be a fork and users have to decide which branch to use?


If development on Phoenix continues outside Apache CVS (which is perfectly legal), it will be under a different name.

Putting some dots on the i:


* permission to use Avalon Phoenix as a 'brand name' will need to be granted by the Avalon PMC
* the license won't be Apache's anymore since this requires its codebase to be residing in ASF CVS, and the Avalon PMC having oversight over the codebase
* in case of a fork, I'm pretty sure package names for Phoenix' implementation classes will need to renamed, but unless you use Phoenix-specific classes or methods in your apps, that shouldn't have too much effects


I hope this helps and can trigger some discussion.

Kind regards,
