Synergy provider

[Julien Henry <ju...@capgemini.com>]

Hi,

We are working on a Maven SCM Provider for Synergy CM. Our customer is 
"La Poste", and it is planned that all the work will be donated to the 
Maven community at the end of the development (10/20/2006).
We would like to obtain help from Telelogic (Synergy CM editor), and it 
could be interesting for us (and consequently for Maven users) to make a 
little bit of advertising for our work on a Maven official website. This 
way, Telelogic will know it's a serious project. For example, could it 
be possible to mention the name of our customer (La Poste), on this 
page: http://docs.codehaus.org/display/SCM/SCM+Matrix.
Could you write something like "La Poste is sponsoring/financing Synergy 
provider development. Will be available at the end of October"

Another question: what are the possible licences available when they 
will publish the sources? I told them about Apache Licence, that seems 
to be the standard in Maven, and they seemed very interested, especially 
by the possibility to put a custom mention (copyright) that will remain 
this project was financed by La Poste.

But perhaps could they use another Licence?

Thanks,

--

I'm not a lawyer but this is my understanding of how it works.

When you donate a large amount of code like this to Apache, you are
giving it to us to license under the APL as part of Maven itself.  You
cannot change the license nor can you put additional stipulations on
distribution or usage of the code (e.g. free advertising for the
donating company).
