I assume that there'll be a software grant filed for this?

What does this specifically mean?  Are there any constraints on redistribut=
ion?

Eww.  We don't do "marketing".  People like that we don't do that.  ;-)

This last bit raises some flags.  I hope that the mentors will ensure
that all discussions and decisions are made on-list.  Ensuring that
this happens is a critical bit of the Incubation process and
encouraging others to participate.  But, if folks can't make it to
JavaOne and AC EU, they shouldn't be left out of the technical
decision-making.

Thanks!  -- justin
