-Apache FreeMarker is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache
-Software Foundation (ASF). Incubation is required of all newly accepted
-projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure,
-communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner
-consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is
-not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the
-code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by
-the ASF.
