Apache Software Foundation response to recent WANdisco statements.

Due to some recent press releases and blog posts by WANdisco, Inc, the
Apache Software Foundation has felt it necessary to post a response:

  https://blogs.apache.org/foundation/entry/apache_subversion_to_wandisco_1

It basically clarifies that WANdisco participates in Subversion
development the same way any other company does (by funding developers),
and that WANdisco is *not* in some kind of official steering position in
the Subversion project, whatever their statements might seem to imply.

Needless to say, none of this affects the participation of WANdisco
developers in the Subversion project in any way: they remain valued
contributors, and their technical work will be treated with the same
respect it always has been, regardless of what the marketing side of the
company may slip into!

Best,
