Will they still be git repositories?

I would hope so - it would be strange to revert back again to SVN!

Yes, there is.

Which licenses may NOT be included within Apache products?

   - Binary Code License (BCL)
   - Special exceptions to the GNU GPL (e.g. GNU Classpath)
   - GNU GPL 1, 2, 3 <http://www.opensource.org/licenses/gpl-license.php>
   - GNU LGPL 2, 2.1, 3<http://www.opensource.org/licenses/lgpl-license.php>
   - Affero GPL 3 <http://www.opensource.org/licenses/agpl-v3.html>
   - NPL 1.0 <http://www.mozilla.org/MPL/NPL-1.0.html>/NPL
1.1<http://www.mozilla.org/MPL/NPL-1.1.html>
   - QPL <http://doc.trolltech.com/3.0/license.html>
   - Sleepycat License <http://www.opensource.org/licenses/sleepycat.php>
   - Microsoft Limited Public
License<http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/cc300389.aspx#MLPL>
   - Code Project Open License
(CPOL)<http://www.codeproject.com/info/cpol10.aspx>


Following https://www.apache.org/licenses/GPL-compatibility.html :

> Apache 2 software can therefore be included in GPLv3 projects, because
the GPLv3 license accepts our software into GPLv3 works. However, GPLv3
software cannot be included in Apache projects. The licenses are
incompatible in one direction only, and it is a result of ASF's licensing
philosophy and the GPLv3 authors' interpretation of copyright law.

.. so it would still be fine to say take Apache Taverna, add GPL3
AstroTaverna, and distribute the end-result under GPL3 - as long as that
happens outside the Apache umbrella.


I am testing with the Maven License plugin to see which licenses are in use
for taverna-commandline-core and taverna-workbench-core for Taverna 3.
