Cool, thanks Martin. Just make sure they know if they ask that we are hoping the TCK will be under the ASL, but that that's not a definite yet. Because this is a portlet framework, I believe we're going to try to leverage the JSR-168 test harness and we need to make sure that everything complies with the latest JCP Guidelines. But it is our intention to use the ASL. :) Scott Martin Marinschek wrote: > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: Martin Marinschek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Jul 26, 2007 6:16 PM > Subject: Software Grant through Intellectual Property Clearance in > MyFaces > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > Hi *, > > we have a situation over at the MyFaces project which is a pretty > straightforward code-grant. > > Oracle wants to donate the code of a JSF-portlet-bridge which would > fit well with MyFaces.
