There are tree possibilities.

1) Ask infra for a VM you can setup your tool there, and you can have a
subdomain for this tool. But you have to maintain the VM yourself.
OpenOffice got this for example for the PHPBB Forum and the MediaWiki
instance.

2) Find other projects on Apache who are interested in such a tool.
(OpenOffice might have interest too, I have to ask on the ML) And it could
be rolled out as an Apache wide service. This was the case for Pootle
(Translating service) as OpenOffice joined the ASF.

3) Use it as an outside service. But this contains the risk that the
service could be shut down if Oracle would left someday. Maybe not what you
want.


I guess my bigger point was around licensing and use. At the moment this is
in a repo only accessible under the netbeans domain if I understood
correctly, and run on Oracle infra, so where will it live as a
project/product which we can even access to install and setup. It seems
there are some licensing concerns/issues from the Oracle side, and I
imagine that would translate into issues for running it at the ASF too. How
do we have rights to do that if it isn't actually open sourced Jirka and Gj?

Thanks
