bien sûr - the discussion happend in private discussions with Pedro (Apache OpenOffice) and Patrick & Daniel, the original BeanShell authors, (put them in CC to this email) who already sent to secretary@ the SoftwareGrant and their ICLAs to continue BeanShell development under the Apache umbrella. Pedro took the initiative for the reason Andrea exposed, Apache OpenOffice would like to continue using BeanShell dependency and since its development was rather than active, contacted Patrick & Daniel for a possible move to the ASF. They accepted and the Commons PMC voted to sponsor BeanShell - I am "championizing" the initiative as Commons PMC ambassador. HTH, please let me know if you need more details, all the best!!! -Simo http://people.apache.org/~simonetripodi/ http://simonetripodi.livejournal.com/ http://twitter.com/simonetripodi http://www.99soft.org/ On Sun, Feb 17, 2013 at 10:43 PM, Ross Gardler <rgard...@opendirective.com> wrote: > The code linked to in the proposal is a fork of the Beanshell code made in > Dec 2012.
