Could you clarify one thing for me, please? I thought we could take the Oracle code as-is, and check it in, verify that it is complete and builds, but that we would then be required to resolve the license issues before could have a release or graduate. Is that incorrect? Are we required to resolve these issues before we even accept the SGA'ed code? It makes it difficult to collaborate on resolving these issues if we cannot get the initial code into SVN. -Rob
