I'm suggesting that while the PMCs are worrying about the possibility of a LGPL jar in CVS, Microsoft might be poised to wipe Apache off the map with 0.00001% of its legal budget because Cocoon infringes some obscure patent of theirs. This is a question about the legal relevance of PMCs in general, not directly related to the current debate. I would personally like to know whether PMCs are any use (legally) at all, before debating whether there should be one or many. --Jeff > -- > Nicola Ken Barozzi [EMAIL PROTECTED] > - verba volant, scripta manent - > (discussions get forgotten, just code remains) > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > --------------------------------------------------------------------- In case of troubles, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
