We will need to get this through the incubator as this is a code
contribution. It needs to follow the process outlined at
http://incubator.apache.org/ip-clearance/ .

I think we should give this thread a little more time but if nobody
raises any objections I'll call a vote on the acceptance of the
contribution in a day or so. Assuming the vote passes I volunteer to
drive the ip-clearance and follow-up with the incubator.

regards,

Karl
