By "you" I meant the Felix project. And I was speaking in the role of an outsider to the Felix project. I can fill many roles such as: - IBMer in which case the pronoun would be "we" since IBM supports Apache - OSGi officer in which case OSGi does want a good relationship with open source projects which implement the OSGi specifications, but OSGi also wants those open source projects to faithfully implement the spec. - consumer who wants an OSGi implementation and is considering Felix. I apologize if my poor use of pronouns or the non-specificity of the role in which I was making my statement caused any grief. I was merely trying to elicit what the Felix community were stating as the goal for OSGi spec compliance.
