Something that does seem odd to me about using Jira at ASF, or any open source, is are we then not locked into whatever happens with the commercial product? With BZ do we own the code and data? That seems more open. I agree Jiras interface is better, but BZ isn't bad. I am torn on this topic from the open standpoint. Same it seems as infra talks about how a project carries on if an agreement ends, does this issue not exist with Jira? Thanks Wade.
