But thinking about a example, maybe they were sub-projects. It's worth noting that anyone is free to fork an Apache licenced project at any time, so there is some protection should the founders which to leave the foundation with their code. Trademarks would be different. D. On Tue, 5 Mar 2019, 6:27 am Justin Mclean, <jus...@classsoftware.com> wrote: Hi, Is there a specific reason you ask this? > 1.

Yes it usually called retiring (although podling don’t really retire) , but some projects live on elsewhere (like GitHub). The existing ALv2 would need to be honoured and the project may need to change it name from the Apache one, but it may not have to. See for example ODF Toolkit. > 2.

[1] After this development could possibly occur elsewhere, but there may be naming and trademark issues to consider. I would assume if a project asked the board to no longer be an Apache project / podling they would consider it and probably wouldn’t want to keep a project here against it’s will. I can’t recall this ever happening.
