Yep. This is very important! We dont want to be involved in a case of style SCO-IBM? Sometimes for us (developers), legal issues (licenses, etc) are not important, but in the world we live we must take care of that. If someone does not believe this just review the SCO-IBM case. Many companies out there will be glad to hit ASF and if all ASF effort is destroyed by a little mistake from us. So Steven advise is right. As he told maybe the "style" as he addressed this concern was not the best but it is still valid. Best Regards, Antonio Gallardo.
