We aren't making new rules. We are trying to help the Bigtop project understand the rules about not releasing non-Apache software. There is a huge difference between depending on an artifact from another project and building and distributing non-Apache rpms in the project's /dist directory. > It's very clear from > http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html that what has been proposed > is acceptable under existing Apache rules. Can you find a single instance other than the disagreement between Apache Lucene and Apache Commons where one project is distributing another project's rpms? Are there any other non-Apache rpms in /dist? Clearly the answer is a resounding NO. It would be a huge violation of the trust the incubator is putting in me as a mentor if I didn't block Bigtop's plan to do so. -- Owen --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscribe@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-help@incubator.apache.org
