The Apache license does not require contributed plugins to be ASL or
even open source, they can be whatever license, we don't care, that's
the beauty of the ASL license. (You may have been thinking about
(L)GPL.) Should we restrict that page to only non-commercial products?
I don't see a need. If a company offers for-purchase plugins for
JSPWiki, I wouldn't mind a minor blurb on that page linking them back to
the company offering it. We have precedence with several other Apache
projects, which have a "commercial offerings" page in which companies
offering services can get listed, e.g., :
http://cxf.apache.org/commercial-cxf-offerings.html.

Hi,
https://jspwiki-wiki.apache.org/Wiki.jsp?page=ContributedPlugins
says nothing about the license of contributed plugins.
Shouldn't we add a notice to the page that plugin contributors should put
their plugins under Apache license or another Open Source license?
I think code contributed to an Apache site / wiki should be good with
regard to licensing.
I guess most contributors won't think about license issues, but with a
recommendation would add the Apache license?
