Re: [Babeldoc-devel] Proposal for all the babeldoc developers

[Dejan K. <dej...@nb...>]

I guess it would be nice. I don't care much about licence as soon as I can
use Babeldoc in my company. And Apache licence is even more business
friendly then GPL.
Anyway, how difficult is to become Apache projects? On the other hand it
seems to me that SourceForge provides more usefull services than Apache
(maybe I am wrong...)
By the way, SF.net has far more than 10000 projects (more than 60000).

I think it is important fact that Jakarta currently does not have project
similiar to Babeldoc (someone would say that Cocoon is similiar but I would
not agree).  This is not true for most other Jakarta projects which has its
counterparts.

So, I like the idea. It could bring Babeldoc closer to masses.
