I think you need to ask genera...a.o. IP won't prevent a project from
entering incubation, committing code to subversion, and developing code,
but it will block graduation. Releasing .... best to ask.

IIRC an LGPL dependency prevented Roller from releasing an incubator
release, but we could check the archives to be sure.

ok [1] is in pretty new shape ... so we'll wing it and use it as an
opportunity to fill in those docs.
Here are my random thoughts to get started....
1) The license header changes are now solid and documented at [3]
Putting these changes in place now rather than waiting for Sep 1 would
make much sense.
2) The distribution must contain
- a NOTICE file ( a pointer to the httpd example is in [3])
- a LICENSE file (httpd is a good example)
- the incubator disclaimer in a README or clearly in docs
3) the filename containing the distribution must include "incubating" in
the name

4) Once you have a distribution ready to release, [4] describes the vote
process -- and it's current.
