Sorry for any confusion; let me be more clear: In order to start the project, the first step was for BEA (the company, not any individual employee of the company) to sign the ASF's License Agreement (sometime referred to as the "software grant"), which grants a copyright and patent license to the ASF for the initial code base. Without BEA having done this, there would have been no code for the project to start with. The purpose of my announcement was to let people know that this has happened, so that anyone interested could get involved. > I'm a bit concerned about seeing "BEA" included in further > announcements (on project releases for instance). I can't imagine why "BEA" would be mentioned in a project release announcement. I think everyone understands the Apache XMLBeans project is exactly that...not the "Apache/BEA XMLBeans project". ;-) Cliff --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
