First, I would like to point out that the Apache License, Version 2
makes the code available under very generous terms; generally forks
are allowed without even asking our permission -- as long as you
follow the terms of the license.

That being said, if there is no interest in the code base being
developed at the ASF, and the PMC in charge of that code base can move
the project to the attic here and continue the development elsewhere.
An example of this occurred last year:
