 Apache Felix Framework
 Copyright 2006 The Apache Software Foundation
 
+Apache Felix is an effort undergoing incubation at 
+The Apache Software Foundation (ASF). Incubation is 
+required of all newly accepted projects until a further 
+review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, 
+and decision making process have stabilized in a manner 
+consistent with other successful ASF projects. While 
+incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the 
+completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate 
+that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.
