Jeremias has expressed the conviction that a number of elements of the current FOP and Batik subprojects should be factored out into new subprojects with definite and well-defined goals. I am in full, though recent, agreement with this approach. Jeremias believes that new committers can be attracted to work in XML Graphics on such tightly defined subprojects. I agree with him on this. One wonders, however, whether the Board will then require the XML Graphics subprojects to become TLPs. One wonders, also, whether the Board will be able to develop solutions to the licensing difficulties that have plagued both Batik and FOP. It seems to me that mixed-licence environments are a fact of Open Source life, and the sooner we develop mechanisms for dealing with this, the better.
