ok thank you... so the tech stays 'open source' or can someone claim it
as commercial (and start charging for it?)?

Subject: Re: [VOTE] Retire Heron from the Incubator
Retiring a project is specific to retiring a community around the
project, not necessarily the tech. The source code will still be
available publicly [1]. Open source projects need a healthy community to
survive. At this point, I do not think that Heron has hardly any community
left.

What does it even mean to 'retire from the incubator'?? Why isn't this
project handed up to Apache open source by now? I assume the libraries/etc
will still be available if its "retired"?? Projects still use Heron - I'm
fine if no more updates but the libraries should remain available.
