What does 'not for inclusion' mean though?
It's probably better to ask this question on the infra@ list, since it's a lot more likely that the discussion surrounding the explicit addition of this checkbox happened there rather than here. I'm sure you'd rather have a definitive answer rather than lots of pure speculation. ;-) -- Martin Cooper If it's marked that way, can I take bits of the code out of it? Do I
have to worry about looking at that code and then implementing something in the apache code that does the same thing and getting sued? For example, what if someone posts a bit of Sun's Java source to the Harmony JIRA and marks it 'not for inclusion'. There's a world of meaning in that not for inclusion flag. What's in it for the ASF to have a not for inclusion option? I'm not seeing why we allow it - better to say "Anything here is for inclusion".
