Hi all, The first item to check is we can legally re-license the files to the Apache license. I randomly looked at one file and it starts with "Copyright (c) 2008 Standards for Technology in Automotive Retail and others." followed by the Eclipse license.
The next tricky part is which branch to pick as the target, I would assume it to be what we released 2.7.2 from. Perhaps a good exercise would be to release 2.7.3 first. There are some pending tickets w patches IIRC.
