Careful tracking and handling of IP rights is paramount at Apache. Knowingly releasing something with questionable IP, when a drop-in replacement exists, is something that could bring the ASF Board crashing down on us (rightfully so). So unless some things are cleared up on legal-discuss, I'm afraid I'm -1 on releasing in current form. (hey, is that my first -1 at Apache after all these years?) -Yonik
