I agree on that, but as labs cannot make releases the protection is quite brutal.....If you just make your source available "as is" you do not have lawsuits (otherwise github would be long gone). But when you make a release, and make statements in the release documentation you have a risk (which is not applicable to the current labs).
And please remember thanks to infra any project in apache can use github in a not very limited way. > > For me that’s an important point.

We can advertise that as a reason why labs do not make releases, but that does not help solve the problem. If labs could make releases this would be a big selling point. I agree that in general we should collect positive points, rgds jan i > > Chris --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: labs-unsubscr...@labs.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: labs-h...@labs.apache.org
