Re: Thoughts on OJB licensing

[Robert r. Sanders]

From the link in the original post, that's because it the for source 
contributors. From what I scanned through, it seems as if the Apache 
foundation is worried about some company contributing code, then turing 
around and claiming that the project is theirs because they had a 
copyright on the source that was contributed..  Of course, IANAL, but 
that's what the license seems to be aimed at doing.

     conditions for use, reproduction, distribution or further
     modification of Your modifications, or for the Derivative Work as
     a whole, provided that the sublicense complies with the conditions
     stated in this License.
sounds almost GPLish....

Also, I don't see any mention of what can or can't be done with binary 
distribution. Everything is in terms of source code, it seems.
