Thanks Andrea,

This make more sense for now.

I also agree that the SC should maybe take this up on a confcall for a 
discussion as to their philosophy on use of "free software" or if they 
decide to be even more specific "copy-left licensing". I think this is 
an important point to take up taking into consideration the latest 
situation with questions to the ASF licensing issues.

Cheers,

Marc
