Hi -

I'm involved in the Apache POI project and we have quite an active discussion going on that includes discussion about Microsoft's Open Source Promise (OSP) [1] and whether that is sufficient license protection for the project's users. During the discussion we were pointed at the ASF Position Regarding Sender ID [2] which was written by the ASF, Apache SpamAssassin PMC and Apache JAMES PMC.

I couldn't help noticing that Microsoft had made the OSP to the SenderID RFC's. Does the project feel that the OSP does anything to eliminate the concerns expressed in the position statement?

The OSP makes me think so, but I think you are the definitive audience to ask. (I'm asking both projects)
