I'd like to re-clarify my statement as I don't wish to create any false expectations or misinterpretations. What I was trying to say : "I'm simply going to communicate this question inside IBM, and can promise no answer - we will go forward with what we have now under the terms we have now" IBM's contribution was made only under the Apache License, and there are no plans for doing anything else with respect to a change or addition in licensing. geir -- Geir Magnusson Jr +1-203-665-6437 geirm@apache.org
