Agreed, saying "Oscar 1 was hosted at ObjectWeb and newer releases are
hosted at the ASF" is clear enough IMHO.
Hasn't there been similar transfers in the past. IIRC, Log4J was Log4J long
time before it got to ASF.
The problem here is that ObjectWeb is a non-profit organization that
hosts a large number of project, a bit like the ASF. It's not like an
independent group (log4j, spamassasin, ibatis, etc) with a single
project that moves to the ASF for the community and legal oversight it
provides.
So they feel like being robbed. That's the whole point.
