dmake is GPLed and hosted at openoffice.org, because the original developers

we don't need to do it in the future, but we need to find an "official"
place for the dmake source code, so that we can build a binary version for
us that can be used to build OOo.
Advice from our mentors is needed here.
So far we do not host GPL code (incubator might be an exception).
Do you know this:
http://www.apache-extras.org
It is google code for ASF related projects, which do not really fit
into the ASF.
I would suggest that we a create an project there especially for code
like dmake.
Every committer can have commit access to this project on request.
I know this is done from other projects who care about necessary code,
which do not belong to the original core.
What this be an option for you?
As far as I'm concerned that would be fine for dmake. I never liked to
have it in the OOo code base and I know that others would welcome to
have it separated too.
That still leaves the problem with configure etc. as described in my
mail that started this thread.
According to
http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#build-tools
it looks as there could be some hope, right?
