XML Graphics FOP - AFP Renderer Codebase Intellectual Property (IP) Clearance Status
Description
The AFP Renderer is an additional output backend (like PDF and PostScript) for Apache FOP. AFP is a printer language from IBM mostly used in high-volume printing.
The AFP Renderer for FOP version 0.20.5 was developed by Pete Townsend with support from Joe Schmetzer. The project is currently hosted on SourceForge (http://afp-renderer.sourceforge.net/). Both developers have indicated their willingness to donate the code to the ASF.
The code has already been extensively reviewed and adapted to the latest FOP release by Manuel Mall an active FOP committer.

If applicable, make sure that any associated name does not already exist and check www.nameprotect.com to be sure that the name is not already trademarked for an existing software product. The codebase consists exclusively of Java sources in the package org.apache.fop.renderer.afp and subpackages. Once integrated into the FOP codebase this codebase will not have its own name as such but be simply part of FOP. |
