Thanks Martin. This makes sense. Note that Apache has been
home to many neutral implementations of standards. For
example see JCP; cf. most Java standards that came out of
it started as Apache projects. Apache is ‘vendor neutral’ since
Apache isn’t a ‘vendor’.

Regardless, putting the GeoAPI spec code on Github makes sense since I
think
it’s superior to SF.net.

Cheers,
Chris
