jukka: Why the new server and web site? I don't seem to be able to access
it (I'm in Switzerland).
->Because we can't put source code on our offical website
http://incubator.apache.org/bluesky/, and we want people to download the
clean version code to help us
check whether still there are code violate ASL. That's why we set up
website at our school. And this address http://202.117.16.249 is an
international address and should be
visited from out net. Actually, the most important function of this site
is to provide three version source code, anyone who can't access and want
the code could write e-mail to
me and i will send the source code to him.
The http://202.* website is a staging website where we can perform
review of bluesky material prior to it being brought into the ASF. The
bluesky project originally contained a lot of LGPL/GPL code from various
projects. The team has been making (slow and painful) progress
reimplementing and refactoring code to resolve the license issues.
Congratulations to the team for their work so far...

clr: What does it mean "as soon as the code is granted by Apache
community"?
->i mean as soon as "legalization of our code is ensured by Apache
community." I'm sorry for the inconvenience that my pooor English had
caused.
I've done an initial review of the Bluesky code to make sure it is
'clean' of legal issues. No problems found so far, but I'm not quite
ready to declare it clean. A bit more due diligence is needed. When I
am satisfied that the code is clean, I'll direct the Bluesky team to
complete the code grant and we'll check the code into the ASF Bluesky
repository.
We've almost cleared a MAJOR hurdle for bringing the Bluesky project to
the ASF. Excising the GPL/LGPL code from Bluesky has been a major,
multi month effort and I sense that the effort is nearing completion.
My expectation going forward ... after CNY (Chinese New Year), thsi
project will begin to look more like a normal ASF project in incubation.
Regards
Bill (Bluesky Mentor)
