Can we really store non Apache licensed jars in the CVS ? My personal preference is to store no jars in CVS For Example I noticed ognl stored in Tapestry CVS : //-- //Copyright (c) 2002, Drew Davidson and Luke Blanshard

Ted, I think we must focus on what we agree on - it seems nobody is against expanding the PMC to include most committers ( or all active committers who don't decline ). I'm not sure I understand Geir's current position, but I think he still agrees we need to include most people. I don't think

Erik As for the larger issue of no JARs in CVS - I disagree. I don't believe that there is room for opinion on this, the fact is it is possible for people to download jars using viewcvs without having read the licence therefore it is not acceptable. UNLESS you have *specific* dispensation
