Ah yes got it now, sorry - so what I meant is that the podlings who
are doing such releases should clarify that with their mentors.
I understand (now ;-) SkyWalking is not in this situation. If a
podling doesn't have specific, documented reasons to do non-Apache
releases they should not do that.

Hi Adam,
Thanks for the explanation.
Can we add some description about it on the board report?
I just went through all the prior board reports[1] I didn't found anything
about it.

Do not despair, that's not unusual ;-)
Depending on where a podling comes from, it can take quite a while to
adjust things to be compatible with Apache licensing and release
requirements. But doing that cleanly makes things much easier later!

Hi Adam.
Hi, thanks for helping. The answer is very clear to me, and I could provide some feedback now.
I understand it is very hard to resolve license issues, in SkyWalking, we took almost 1 month to release our first version.

Hi,
I'm Adam, who is a committer of Weex，maybe I can clarify the confusion of Weex's release process.
Actually, Weex released its first version in Apache on 2017-06-08, after that, we faced some license problems. Facebook's BSD+Patents license was added to Category X[1] and Weex had some dependencies which were using that license, including our layout engine Yoga[2] (though its newest version has changed to MIT).
Some committers found the issue[3] and started working on a new layout engine, it was a massive work and took more time than we expected, fortunately it was nearly done. Weex will release next version in May.
During that time, the community building and development should be continued, so we added some tags and some "feature notes" to the community, we will make sure they are clearly labeled as non-Apache releases.
Sorry to make you confused.

Hi,
I'm Adam, who is a committer of Weex，maybe I can clarify the confusion of Weex's release process.
Actually, Weex released its first version in Apache on 2017-06-08, after that, we faced some license problems. Facebook's BSD+Patents license was added to Category X[1] and Weex had some dependencies which were using that license, including our layout engine Yoga[2] (though its newest version has changed to MIT).
Some committers found the issue[3] and started working on a new layout engine, it was a massive work and took more time than we expected, fortunately it was nearly done. Weex will release next version in May.
During that time, the community building and development should be continued, so we added some tags and some "feature notes" to the community, we will make sure they are clearly labeled as non-Apache releases.
