- <b>Say, why isn't there an ApacheForge?</b>
- </p>
- <p>
- For the time being, there are incubators enough. Though, if someone has
the itch
- for an incubator project to host products with licenses compatible with
Apache, the
- appropriate party to contact with a proposal for such a thing would the
- <a href="http://www.apache.org/foundation/";>Apache Software Foundation</a>.
- </p>
- <p>
- Many
- <a href="http://sourceforge.net/softwaremap/trove_list.php?form_cat=296";>
- SourceForge projects
- </a>
- do use the
- <a href="http://www.apache.org/LICENSE";>
- Apache License
- </a>
- , and we hope this segment will continue to grow. Indeed using Apache
Software license
- before you make a
- <a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/site/newproject.html";>proposal</a>
- for becoming an Jakarta project will help ease fears that kudos was a
motivator.
- </p>
- <p>
- If an open source product you use is not distributed under an
ASF-compatible license,
- please take the initiative and lobby the developers of that product to
reconsider.
- <hint>Of course, any development team would be more amenable to such
a suggestion
- if it came from an active contributor to the product or its technical
support list.</hint>
- </p>
- <p>
- It is important to note that the Apache Software Foundation is committed
to supporting
- products "characterized by a collaborative, consensus based development
process, an
- open and pragmatic software license, and a desire to create high quality
software that
- leads the way in its field."
- </p>
- <p>
- The <b>community</b> factor is an essential component of the ASF's
mission, and would
- difficult to monitor in a free-for-all incubator environment. We do not
necessarily
- believe that more is better, and would not be eager to sacrifice the
importance of
- community simply to gain "license-share". The horse must come before the
cart.
- </p>
- <p>
- We value communities more than software and it takes a lot of energy to
build a
- community solid enough to build good enough software to pay back Apache
for the risk
- of diluting the brand each time a new effort is added.
- </p>
- <p>
- Of course, if someone were able to marshal the physical resources, the
Apache community
- would undoubtedly welcome an open source incubator that promoted
ASF-compatible licenses.
