That's what happened in 2010 to http://ibatis.apache.org/ which was forked to mybatis.org - note the name change, required as the IBatis trademark belonged to the ASF. Nobody can prevent someone from forking an Apache project elsewhere, but the trademarks of TLPs belong to the ASF, so that we can keep the project alive if someone else wants to work on it. In the case of IBatis, the Apache project moved to the Attic about the same time, http://attic.apache.org/projects/ibatis.html - but Attic projects can be restarted, so in general it makes sense for us to keep the name. -Bertrand --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
