Hi Brad It's a pity milton2 is not under an apache compatible license, but for our current needs milton1 seems to just do the job. So having this in maven central would greatly help.
For the current needs of Stanbol we don't need proppatch, caldav and stuff so the cut-down version of milton2 would probably do the job. A wish would be to have a solution based on jax-rs. But again, milton1 does as well. For building a community around the apache license variant declaring it a cut-down version might be very appealing. But for several apache project there are related commercial projects that extends them. So if you want to build a community it might be better to have to differently branded products.
