I hope you make it! I’m using Radeox in a project – it’s cool!

Yes there is a repo at codehaus, and the project, but the rights are still with my employer. We couldn’t agree to transfer the rights back then.

I got some positive feedback, so the situation looks better, I hope for a positive ending :-)

Have used and am using Radeox. Me like it and want to use it again, if needs comes up. Great tool in the box :-)

Why would someone keep you from working on it? Looks like it has moved to codehaus now. Can we not just contribute or are contributions not accepted?

Isn’t Radeox at Codehaus under a BSD license?

Hi Guillaume, nice to see you here.

Forking is the last option, I would like to somehow stay in good terms with the people and don’t fork the project which also would confuse users. Forking will prevent some options in the future (like licening to another-yet-to-come-best-developer-license).

As the license is Apache, the relicensing topic is no problem currently, Apache is liberal enough for most people.

What’s the license already? If you’re not allowed to work on it anymore, fork it!

Yes, I am planning to use Radeox as the wiki render engine in my own project. Actually I used it before and I am quite happy with it.
