That was the part that worried me too. It inhibits our downstream re-distributors. Also what does "build upon" mean? In this case it might be okay. It is a set of icons that shouldn't be changed. If people want this, then some of our committers need to ensure that it is okay by taking it to the legal-discuss mailing list: http://www.apache.org/foundation/mailinglists.html The last time that this came up on our dev list we were not sure about what to do. Someone proposed to avoid the whole situation by making a collection of Apache Licensed icons to distribute with Forrest. Not yet happened. Another solution would be to have a plugin which is a Cocoon sitemap that generates a simple graphic with text, colours, and size, based on the request parameters. Should be easy. Another solution would be to create a set of static graphic icons, by extending our trunk/tools/logos/ and we could check the generated result into forrest core svn and/or our plugins. -David
