it is Twilio, yup! ... and backed by a custom flask app, using yaml files to define/organize the menu structure.

And we save money by relying on GitHub's excellent tools, rather than wasting it, trying to recreate or stand up a similar platform. The communities wanted closer integration with …

That is simply not true. Please take your conspiracy theories elsewhere. Apache maintains clones of all our GitHub org's repositories. GitHub has no leverage over our repositories.…

Correct. We are pragmatic-focused. The communities asked for better integration with GitHub, so we provided it. (nothing to do with non/copyleft licensing regimes) Mind you, we mai…

The communities asked for GitHub integration.

It is definitely better-served. It was the communities asking for GitHub access/integration. So we provided it. -- Greg Stein

Not to us here at Apache. We wanted the GitHub tools to be available to our projects. Why try and recreate all that on our own? Waste of resources. The ASF is for creating software…

Exactly. You'll be using the React code under the BSD license but without any patent grants.

Yes, it works just fine. Many projects at Apache rely on MIT-licensed code, and I know that several of the Apache projects are looking towards Preact as a replacement for their dep…

Of course you can sue them. It just comes with consequences.

Note that this only applies to projects from the Apache Software Foundation. Its policies do not affect outside projects, including those using the ALv2. After August 31, no Apache…

"everyone else but you" would no longer be an OSS license.

Correct. Once released under an OSS license, that cannot be revoked. They can change/restrict the license on future releases, but you can also choose an older release, which uses t…

Right. This is the notion that BSD provides an "implicit" patent grant. Legal scholars are debating it, and there is no court precedent. ... but it is likely a more permissive gran…

The ASF does not want downstream users to be caught by more restrictions than those of the ALv2. The BSD+Patents licensing imposes more restrictions; thus, Apache projects cannot d…

There is a lot of confusion with regards to one point: the Apache Software Foundation did not make a request for a license change. The Foundation does not presuppose to know how ot…

The two copyright-based licenses are compatible, based on pretty much every legal opinion published. Facebook is offering a separate patent license, and that is out-of-scope of the…

With patents, it is usually best to not show your hand. Patent holders never publish the list of patents that read on their software.

Just say one, for discussion purposes. One is likely worth the (minimal?) loss of Goodwill/combinatorics/bundling with their licensing choice.

That is not entirely true. As stated elsewhere, there is likely an implicit patent license provided by the BSD. The reasoning is basically, "we are [copyright] licensing this cod e…
