| Who should host their projects on [Apache Extras](http://apache-extras.org/)? | |
| Apache Extras is aimed primarily those who are unable or unwilling to licence their code under the Apache License V2, | |
| but want to signal their relationship to one or more Apache project community. | |
| One example of this is my own Drupal connector for Apache Wookie (Incubating). This needs to be GPL licensed due to the | |
| Drupal dependency, but it contains Apache Licensed code as well. Consequently it cannot be hosted at Drupal, nor can it | |
| be hosted at the ASF. Now, with Apache Extras, it has a home that is associated with at least one of those | |
| organisations. | |
| A second group of projects that may choose to host on Apache Extras are those who wish to manage their projects in a way | |
| that is not aligned with our own collaborative consensus based processes. |
