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. :)
