A special thank to the Apache Software Fundation who, although based in the
US, actively expressed concern about the future of open source in Europe.
As a worldwide non-profit organization, ObjectWeb very much appreciates
this expression of "inter-continental" solidarity.

Excerpt from Apache's home page
([url=http://www.apache.org]www.apache.org[/url] as of August 28th, 2003)
:

"The European Open Source community is very concerned about the upcoming
new regulation and has organized a demo protest for August 27, asking Open
Source supporting sites to change their home pages to let everyone know
what is going on at the European Parliament. The Apache Software Foundation
has decided to support this initiative, and this is why you are seeing this
page. "
