Shared Memory in APR.

[Ryan Bloom <rb...@raleigh.ibm.com>]

After taking a few days to clean some stuff up and go to meetings, I am
back to work on APR.  The next thing I am looking to implement is shared
memory.  Ralf posted some stuff a while ago that includes the shared
memory pools stuff, as well as some code to allocate/deallocate shared
memory.

I began to take a quick look at this to see how easily it could be added
to APR, and noticed immediately, that it has everything Copyrighted by
Ralf.  So, my question is can I use this code?  Does it need to be
re-released under the Apache License?  Ralf, are you willing to do that?

I always have the option of just grabing the code from the scoreboard
logic, and using it.  So re-writing isn't really an issue.

Sounds like a reasonable idea.  Investigating...

Shouldn't any code posted to this list be regarded as contributed to AG?
Question for the ASF people:  could automatic consent be legally assumed
if the info document for the list (which majordomo sends to new subscribers)
specified this caveat?  Of course, if this change were made to the info
document, it would also need to be sent out to all current subscribers.

Just an idea...
