My only point is that we don't know for sure that these folks are *allowed* to license their code under the ASL. All we have is a Javadoc header and an ASL license declaration in their pom file. I understand that the ASL is very permissive. On Thu, Jan 8, 2009 at 10:12 AM, Antonio wrote: > 2009

Great! Yes, that's the one to fax. I guess we only have one fax number so that should be the one: http://apache.org/foundation/contact.html NOTICE file would be a good place. I've also come across a CREDITS file from time to time. cheers -- Torsten On Thu, Jan 8, 2009 at 06:33, Christian Grobme

Well, are we protecting ourselves here? Just putting the ASL2 license mumbo jumbo in the header of a file doesn't exactly mean you have the right to license the code at all (perhaps your employer "owns" anything you write?). I'd feel safer with some a more formal code grant, but that's just me.

Hi all, compress issue 241 [1] proposes to implement CPIO archives. Since the jRPM project allready has implemented the streaming code, it should be really straightforward to include it in compress. I know I am bit early since there are many other open issues with compress, but I would like to kno
