The thing to do is search out the requirements for inclusion in their store. You might find some things that are problematic. I'd be wary of things like: 1) Technical requirements that we don't meet. For example, do they have a requirement of JRE dependencies, or digital signatures? 2) Legal requirements. For example, do we need to sign an agreement that gives them indemnification? This is unlikely to be something that the ASF would do. This has less to do with the open source license and more to do with our status as a non-profit entity. -Rob > However…. > > best > louis > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] > For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
