Has there been a vote regarding this in Avalon? Have all the prior authors of the packages been pinged?
Will the existing codebase continue under the Apache License? What is the status of the current sourceforge projects? Could this be joined into one project there under the Apache License? It's my feeling that our core mission is promoting the Apache open source methodology and licensing terms. Where the codebase lives is secondary. -Ted.
