The two ideas are:
(1) Any Jakarta committer is entitled to karma to the sandbox, and can
work on whatever they like there. No questions asked.
(2) A codebase developed in the sandbox can't be released to the public
from the sandbox. To release the code to the public, you would have to
move it to another Jakarta CVS, where a subproject could vote to release
it.
The sandbox could just as easily be part of the Jakarta backbone site,
but it making it part of the Commons proposal seemed like a convenient
way to set it up.
