+ <b>Say, why isn't there an ApacheForge?</b>
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ For the time being, there are incubators enough. Though, if someone has the itch
+ for an incubator project to host products with licenses compatible with Apache, the
+ appropriate party to contact with a proposal for such a thing would the
+ <a href="http://apache.org/foundation/">Apache Software Foundation</a>.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Many
+ <a href="http://sourceforge.net/softwaremap/trove_list.php?form_cat=296">
+ SourceForge projects
+ </a>
+ do use the
+ <a href="http://apache.org/LICENSE">
+ Apache License
+ </a>
+ , and we hope this segment will continue to grow.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ If an open source product you use is not distributed under an ASL-compatible license,
+ please take the initiative and lobby the developers of that product to reconsider.
+ <hint>Of course, any development teams would more amenable to such a suggestion
+ when it comes from active contributors to the product or its technical support list.</hint>
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ It is important to note that the Apache Software Foundation is committed to supporting
+ products "characterized by a collaborative, consensus based development process, an
+ open and pragmatic software license, and a desire to create high quality software that
+ leads the way in its field."
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The <b>community</b> factor is an essential component of the ASF's mission, and would
+ difficult to monitor in a free-for-all incubator environment. We do not necessarily
+ believe that more is better, and would not be eager to sacrifice the importance of
+ community simply to gain "license-share". The horse must come before the cart.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Of course, if someone were able to marshal the physical resources, the Apache community
+ would undoubtedly welcome an open source incubator that promoted ASL-compatible licenses.
