... neither for the 1.5.0 final release. So yes, imho right now they are
violating the EPL (but IANAL).

And frankly speaking I don't understand why their development takes place
behind closed doors, why the development changesets are not pushed to the
javaforge repository periodically. This makes collaboration hard - which is
kinda funny if you have a look at the company slogan / vision (Collaboration
Begins Here).

For merging the projects, Zingo and I told Intland that open access to the
source code (without authentication) and to the issue tracker is very
important for us.

I guess that's Zingo Andersen and me.
