Tuscany has no legal or licensing issues that I'm aware of. RAT has been run numerous times over all the releases we've done, and the code scrutinized in lots of release reviews (and from all those release review comments the Tuscany ppmc have a learnt lots about the Apache release requirements). The biggest recent issue was when a dependency on bouncycastle got added but we've removed that for now till the IDEA patent issues are resolved. There were 11 committers when the Tuscany poddling was first created and over the course of incubation 19 new committers have been added giving a diversity of something like 5 or 6 different companies and several independents. Not all of those are currently active, and a couple probably wont ever be again, but others may become active again from time to time depending on their own needs and uses of Tuscany. There does still remain at least the minimum of three legally independent committers, and the with so many new committers being voted in over incubation it shows Tuscany is completely open to accepting new people. ...ant
