Hi Miguel, I am not sure I can answer this question completely. Let me explain the context a bit. Castor was initially developed by a company named 'Intalio', and subsequently released as open source with a BSD-style license. In the early years after 2000, more and more employees of Intalio quit their job, and as far as I know, Intalio sort of vanished. Myself and a few other committers at that time decided that any new code contributed should carry an Apache license. I assume that this explanation doesn't really address your question, but I could offer to have a word with a contact at Intalio (yes, the company seems to have been resurrected, but with a completely different business focus). Let me know whether I should go about this.
