If one were to use couch_btree and mochiweb to make a JSON store that

This accords with our thinking. What would you say if it were purely a
matter of the bulk-op semantics?

Whatever. I would opt for the safe side and stick to the Apache
license and its spirit. While you try and convince the community to
integrate $FEATURE, if you need it for your project, just do what you
need to do, release what you want to release and:

1. don't call it CouchDB, as the license won't allow you to do that


Gianugo,

This is an interesting situation falls outside the license, because the feature in question is currently IN CouchDB, and will soon be removed. I have a deployment that depends on it, so the simplest solution is to freeze my CouchDB codebase pre-removal - hence my question.
