ind no reason why these materials cannot be accepted. Please submit a "sta=
tement of origin" in a follow-up to this ITS. This can simply be a stateme=
nt to the effect that the all the submitted materials were authored by Josh=
uaTree Software, JoshaaTree is the exclusive owner of the works, and that t=

to which others own or otherwise have rights to, please detail.<br>=0A<br>=
=0AThe Foundation has no objection to the Project establishing a sub-projec=
t of the OpenLDAP Project, similar to the Java LDAP and JDBC-LDAP sub proje=
cts, to develop works based upon your contribution. It is the Foundation u=
nderstanding that Project is also willing to establish such a sub-project, =
and extend commit privs to the key developers who produced the contributed =
work.<br>=0A<br>=0AIt is noted that the OpenLDAP Foundation, if it accepts =
the final contribution, would from time to time publish works derived (such=
as the source repository itself, and possibly packaged source bundles) fro=
m your contribution as well as possibly the contributions of others. The O=
penLDAP Foundation will license its copyright right interests (initially li=
kely quite limited) using the OpenLDAP Public License, and will encourage c=
ommunity members to license their contributions in a manner consistent with=
our general contribution guidelines. The OpenLDAP Public License is compa=
tible with the 'New BSD open source license' and similar in its basic terms=
.<br>=0A<br>=0AThe initial COPYRIGHT file (upon acceptance and initial publ=
ication by the OpenLDAP Foundation) would be based on the COPYRIGHT file cu=
rrently found in OpenLDAP Software distributions, excepting JoshuaTree Soft=
ware would be named as the contributor of the materials for which the publi=
shed work is derived from, and notice immediately following the Foundation'=
s notice would be that provided by JoshauTree covering the work as contribu=
tions.<br>=0A<br>=0AIt is noted that I recently attempted to re-download th=
e materials and they were no longer available. That fine, we'd want you to=
upload fresh zips to our servers once we all were ready to proceed.<br>=0A=

We have created a new Identity and Access Management SDK, called Fortress, =

It has taken us 2.5 years of steady work to get it ready for this 1.0 rele=
ase. <br>=0A> This SDK has approximately 50K lines of Java code of which=
approximately 25K are<br>=0A> dedicated to testing using JUnit automate=
d tests to ensure it works correctly. <br>=0A> There are in excess of 10=
0 public APIs available for use. There is also a Java<br>=0A> EE contai=
ner plug-in that provides authentication and authorization services to<br>=
=0A> Websphere, Tomcat and JBoss app servers in a declarative fashion. =
<br>=0A> <br>=0A> This product has not been published and we would li=
ke to release it as one of<br>=0A> the products under OpenLDAP family of=
products. The product will be released<br>=0A> under New BSD open sour=

2. Bug tracking.<br>=0A> 3. Developer and User forums.<br>=0A> 4. Wi=

pen source project with your organization and cultivate<br>=0A> a health=
