How would it be limited?
Apache OFBiz is an open source community and this mailing list is open
for everyone to participate. Aside from some trademark guidelines, The
Apache Software Foundation does not have any rules concerning
discussions about derivative works from Apache projects.
OFBiz is an application framework, and as such, we expect the community
to use it as a foundation for various projects. Posting success stories
and links to online demos are types of discussions that occur on this
list. That is one of the reasons it exists.
Some list members might not like those discussions or the way they are
presented, but that is a personal preference - it is not something that
can be turned into policy and enforced.

I have no problem with people advertising their own work - in fact, up to a
certain degree it helps the community. However, I think that the constant
promotion of BigFish has crossed the mark quite a bit and has come to the
point where every new member is getting greeted by a bigfish welcoming
message.
I am not trying to bash anybody’s work here, but merely pointing out that
the implementation of Bigfish is far from complete. It isn’t a simple
labeling factor either – it simply isn’t done in full. When a product
doesn’t deliver what it is supposed to do, it is false advertisement.
Again, I have no problems with anybody promoting its own work, but I also
don’t want people thinking that Bigfish = OFBiz, when in fact it is far from
it. A quick search on nabble reveals that there have been 242 references
towards bigfish, the majority being promotional. Sorry, but that isn’t
“rarely responding with BigFish examples” in my eye. So perhaps this can be
limited somehow?
