Are we really going to go after all the web companies that patch in an

proposal that does this.
I think there is a big difference between some company that uses Hadoop
with some patches internally and a company that puts out a distribution for
others to use, usually for-profit.
Just as the reminder: this whole conversation has started as a result
of EMC announcement of 100% compatible version of Apache Hadoop. So,
Allen's point is right on target here: the above example is simply
incorrect.
I seem to recall this dicussion starting a bit earlier, with the whole
notion of compatibility, before EMC got involved.
Regarding the vote, I think the discussion here is interesting and
should be finalised before the vote. It's worth resolving the issues.
also: banners, stickers and clothing? Can I have T-shirts saying "I
broke the hadoop build" with the logo on, or should it be "I broke the
Apache Hadoop build"?
