+ + + The code came from outside the ASF, so it's ours to do as we like, right? + + +

Wrong, Here are some generally agreed points that you should take into + consideration:

+
    +
  1. No codebase within the ASF is to be considered an exclusive location for a + general technology within the ASF.
    2. +
  2. All initial codebases are just that: initial. Once the code is here, + if people feel that the code sucks or the architecture sucks, or + whatever else someone wants to complain about, all parties understood + that the future direction of the architecture and code is, as is + everything at the ASF, subject to communal will.
    3. +
  3. Other contributors interested in any ASF codebase, with or without + existing codebases, are free to contribute, or to propose additional + related projects.
