To make the OpenDDR artifacts, especially resource files available to DeviceMap they have to be re-licensed. I trust e.g. Mark Struberg whom I had a great discussion about issues DeltaSpike faces in Vienna can tell you in greater Detail, but based on especially the question of using Material licensed under W3C license as Source in the ASF repo as opposed to using a binary lib (which is fine and done by dozens of projects;-) you may see why only initial committers from the OpenDDR Team (myself and one or two others, see the project page, I don't know who else technically became a Committer by now, so I could be the only one) are eligable to relicense that IP from OpenDDR license to Apache. Once it is here do and improve as you like without violating any other legitimate claims but without acting on behalf of OpenDDR or other licensors neither Reza nor others must "Copy&Paste" or merge from the OpenDDR repo or a similar third Party;-)
I agree with you on all other Points, Thus leave them for those you hope understand them to read and try act upon... A few administrative items don't seem to work as transparently, e.g. Eberhard and I still miss some roles in JIRA that Bertrand must have set up ages ago (1y or more) but has since not Bern able to adjust. We can still work on tasks, but they may not be assigned to the right Person or that Person currently busy, on vacation, etc. Same with the VM instance. It seems to be available to all committers, but only two used it so far. If say a .NET equivalent existed, Eberhard should be able to deploy, etc. Even those with such access, especially Reza put multiple artifacts saying "org.apache.devicemap" on their own private SVN repos or Servers. I trust even incubating projects could provide a 'snapshot' or 'RC' download on Apache.org, but nobody who has credentials did, or nobody except Bertrand can at the Moment.
