we will not be affected by this that much.

ASF is fine with spring (its license is ASL2) and some projects within ASF use spring, so there is no problem there.

there is a problem with hibernate (LGPL?).

all projects that are in /svnroot/wicket will be moving to apache. there are no license problems that cannot be resolved there (wicket-examples is going to have to lose the captcha (LGPL) example)

We are planning on leaving wicket-stuff projects on sf.net, so that we can maintain dependencies on hibernate and other non-apache-friendly libs there. the said captcha example will prob move from wicket-examples to wicket-contrib-examples in wicket-stuff.

hope that summarizes it enough.

My only concern is how apache frowns on it's projects' working with non-Apache licensed libraries. 
What does this mean for the wicket-stuff or wicket-extensions projects?  Will the hibernate or spring extensions become "taboo"?

Don't get me wrong, I think wicket would gain a lot by becoming by joining apache.

dear community,

the core wicket team has decided to join the ASF and make wicket a top level apache project ( wicket.apache.org)

to those unfamiliar with the game, it goes something like this:

* the wicket team puts in a proposal to ASF ( http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/WicketProposal )

* the apache powers that be vote on whether or not they want wicket in the ASF ( need 3 +1 and 0 -1 )

* if the vote passes wicket will enter the apache incubator and our infrastructure will move to incubator.apache.org. we will have website, SVN, jira, and confluence.

* when wicket is ready to graduate it will move to a top level apache project next to struts/tapestry/etc and our infrastructure will move to apache.org ( wicket.apache.org)

if you are interested please read the proposal, it outlines what we hope to give and get from the ASF.

if you have any concerns or thoughts this would be a good time to have a discussion

PS. im hoping apache mailing lists dont have outages as often as sf.net. im sending this on 7/26 6pm PST, lets see when it gets to you... :)
