| ASF Inubation Disclaimer: Apache VCL is an effort undergoing incubation at the |
| Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator PMC. |
| 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. |
