Hello, Perso the license question doesn't matter a lot as long we have a compatible one with ASF. Have a look at tomcat 7 or the cxf distribs which contains ecj and/or jetty so the Eclipse license is not a trouble for ASF products (sure at least for me). My main point is more regarding the governance model and the devs/pmcs involved for those projects @eclipse. If I look at the various proposals for aether [1] and sisu [2], the initial set of committers doesn't show a diversity or a huge community.
So even if probably I won't be a huge committer, how will it be possible to participate in the projects ? And probably some others Maven folks have the same question.
