There have been companies who have submitted bodies of code to Apache, and there have been projects consisting of individuals submitting bodies of code. We're not doing anything new. The Apache Incubator can be used for this case and there are likely people there who have dealt with this case and have seen it. There will also be people from the legal groups on the incubator mailings lists and we can just do what the last project did. I don't think we're unique here.

Every attempt to determine the correct abstraction on paper without actually developing a running system is doomed to failure. No one is that smart. A framework is a resuable design, so you develop it by looking at the things it is supposed to be a design of. The more examples you look at, the more general your framework will be. -- Ralph Johnson & Don Roberts, Patterns for Evolving Frameworks
