24 June 2004 - Full-fledged Apache SpamAssassin moves up to Top Level
The resolution below was brought before the Board of the Apache Software Foundation, and has passed. SpamAssassin has graduated from the Apache Incubator Project to become a full-fledged top level project in the Apache Software Foundation. Daniel Quinlan will be the PMC Chair of the Apache SpamAssassin.
This was finally made possible now that Network Associates officially transferred ownership of the SpamAssassin trademarks to the Apache Software Foundation. The Apache Software Foundation is now the proud owner of the fantastic SpamAssassin brand and the codebase. The SpamAssassin team is on the verge of releasing a long overdue 3.0 release.
