The Apache Software License (the ASL you refered to) should not be an issue at all since it is the Apache license. Plus, you and I (although I haven't done anything) are the only ones on the sf.net project. But I understand the need to ask anyway just in case. Noel probably the one who can best clarify any issues if they exist. BTW, this is probably another email altogether, but I intend to use some of the AAA code within Eve and later use Eve to back some AAA implementations down the road as we discussed. However in the future I'd like to see most of this code go to the rightful Apache project dealing with matters of security. Perhaps in the future a security subproject or TLP will be formed and the code can go there along with other security APIs that come out of the directory effort. There will be several that I can already foresee especially in the area of X.509 certificates and such. Seeing how most of the code will be used and some developed with Eve in mind it does not hurt to have it here for now as it progresses forward. Down the road, we'll figure out the rightful place for it. I'm sure it can be used by several other projects besides ours here and I personally have a commitmant to making sure others can use our common code if they choose to. IMHO this is a good practice for Apache overall. Alex
