*Licensing and other issues*

    * Karaf subproject promoted to TLP.
    * Need to have discussion on how to handle provisional OSGi APIs in
      our releases. It is not clear if we should include provisional
      OSGi API since it is not officially released by the OSGi Alliance
      and is therefore subject to change and/or not always officially
      sanctioned (i.e., made publicly available by the OSGi Alliance).
      At a minimum, we need to define an approach to informing users if
      provisional API is included that it is not [yet] official OSGi API.
