I currently do not have the time and the nerves to deal with the legal
stuff, relicensing the code, adapt our imports etc. If someone else wants
to do it, fine; but I do not see any advantages except that we could patch
the code (But I did not see any attemt to do this for a long time).
As for the smooth transition, we can also have this if we use the forked
version.

Actually Thomas, as a long time ASF Member, Jon is well aware of the issues
with regards to bringing code into the ASF (you will find his name in bunches
of author tags in Turbine, including the earliest revision of Turbine.java to
be found in svn [dated 2001-08-16] and even a few in Torque).
Torque has actually been using a fork of Village for a while now, hosted at
http://www.softwareforge.de/projects/village/
I see that Jon has taken share.whichever.com offline - this was probably what
prompted him to offer the code to Torque.
Given all of the relevant factors (Jon, his offer, the fork, the license, the
plan to phase Village out of Torque) I suggest that we pull any of the
classes we use into Torque itself. Doing this should make phasing it out
quite a bit easier since we will be free to refactor the code however we see
fit rather than having to eliminate it in one fell swoop.

Hi Jon,
Thanks for the offer. I'm afraid that donating the code to the ASF involves
a lot of legal overhead, so personally I'd rather not put the code to ASF.
If you are ok with making the village code available at a third place, we'd
rather do that.

Hi there,
I'm the author of Village.
I'm not sure if Torque still uses Village under the covers, but I'd like
to stop hosting the CVS/SVN tree and give the code over to you here if you
are still using it. I think/hope this is the only project still using it
anymore.
Long live Village. Let's Hibernate/EJB3 replace it. =)
