Hi Everyone, Thanks for your insights till now, as for Aleks concerns especially, for legal aspects i think we can create a ticket with ASF Legal or at their discussion forum at legal-discuss @ apache.org for clarification. They are the best ones to guide us. For project specific guidelines we can discuss them further in this current thread.
