As suggested previously: could you please remove the ASF link from the Jisp page?

That seems like a rather petty request, given that Jisp *is* currently in use by many (most?) Cocoon implementations.

I wouldn't call it "petty", rather "logical" - but I will leave the uptake of this suggestion up to your own judgement. We went at great length to treat you and your personal ambitions with care and respect. We now politely ask for a favor in return.


"For several years, the Apache project used Jisp; that will no longer be the case, as the Apache Cocoon group is replacing Jisp due a conflict between the Apache license and the GNU General Public License (GPL). You can find my take on recent licensing conflicts (which extend far beyond my own little corner of the universe) in <link>A Matter of License</link>."

The change will be made later this week, when I finish my article on licenses.

Please review http://www.apache.org/licenses/GPL-compatibility.html as some background reading for your article, and (IMHO) do take into account the fundamental differences between the FSF and the ASF organizations, differences which are not only explained by the license policy of the respective organisations.
