Hi all, The Adopt project would like to distribute NetBeans but we’ve yet to sort out what is needed to make that happen. For example, I believe we can’t call the distro Apache-NetBeans so we’re thinking of calling it Adopt-NetBeans. This implies that there a number of things we need to alter as part of the rebranding. Is there anything else that needs to be done before Adopt could distribute NetBeans?
