All,
Resolving IP issues are a part of the incubation process not the acceptance
process
It is not necessary to delay entry into the incubator because some o these
issues need to be satisfactorily resolved. The Jena developers are aware of
this and have undertaken to do what is required in meetings with myself as
Champion. Can one of the Jena team please add a note to this effect in the
proposal in order to remove any doubt about this.
Done. The text added says:
[[
The initial committers overtake to resolve all IP and copyright issues
that concern the dependencies of the initial source and of any
contributions in accordance with Apache requirements for graduating from
incubator status.
All contributions to the Jena codebase are under BSD-style license. The
majority of copyright is held by HP. Some copyright is held by others,
as noted in the codebase. This includes contributions from the initial
committers below and any other contributions.
]]
At this point, any of the Jena initial committers can revise that text
otherwise lazy consensus applies.
I'd like to call a vote on Jenas entry but am unable to do so until this
discussion is resolved. I am going to assume the addition of a commitment to
resolve these issues are sufficient to move forwards (lazy consensus).

PS We recently removed a dependency on json.org code. I know Apache
allows it but some organisations found that license difficult to work with.
