    Well, as I mentioned in the subject, I asked/proposed about a *move* not
    fork and of couse this "as official as possible" :).
    Personally I'm not interested in "forking" - I think there's not enough
    "developer free energy" around to invest in forks, and for sure not for
    "political" resons like licensing :).

    My request was based on a very simple and pragmatic reason - on sourceforge
    it takes only a single click to give someone commit rights - it's even
    simpler than explaining "house rules" or whatever bureacratic steps Apache
    takes.

    Wow thank you for the info. I didn't know that Apache license is so
    restrictive.
    I think that LGPL code can be changed by the owners to whatever license they
    wish (if they wish).
    I think I saw this on some dev.java.net forum - Sun.com has LGPL for most
    code there, but they can change it to what they want and when they want.

    Thank you,

    Demetrios.
