Yes, we would like to avoid any mistakes. Interestingly, enough, since
1.2beta1 (2002-06-30) log4net is distributed under an Apache License a
copy of which can be found below.
This is actually a practice frowned upon by the ASF, but in this case
it may make things a little simpler. Indeed, by virtue of its license
log4net has been saying that the ASF owns the code since June 2002. I
don't see how any contributor could oppose it becoming an ASF project
and at the same time allow it to be distributed under the ASF license
and with an ASF *copyright*.
Given the above and assuming that the Logging PMC agrees, I will ask
the ASF to create an account for all the log4net committers who have
signed and sent in their CLA. The address of where it should be sent
is part of the text. When you do send in your CLA, please let me know
so I can take the necessary actions. The CLA can be found here:
http://www.apache.org/licenses/cla.txt
In a separate message I will ask the Logging PMC to formally endorse
this move.
Here is the license shipped with log4net 1.2 Betax:
