it's a tricky question that involves patent policy:
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/www-legal-discuss/200612.mbox/%3c1167509693.5520.39.camel@knossos.elmet%3e

may well take a while to figure out and we may well want to try to
lobby Yahoo! for license changes. seems unlikely to be concluded
anytime soon.

might be worth considering hosting development offshore under a dual
license (ASF+Yahoo!) but continuing to use this list for discussions.
if apache policy decides that the Yahoo! patent license is acceptable
then a software grant can be used.

thanks

very busy, i see :-)

posting again on legal-discuss was useful: it's tricky to follow
threads with less. public lists means all developers can read and
post. i'll follow up and ask members to read the internal list.

Robert, you might want to check the legal-internal archives.  I'd been
pursuing this with both our legal folks and the IETF until Stefano's
behavior so thoroughly put me off from investing more of my time on the
matter.  I'm still debating what to do about that issue.
