It is often compared to maven ant tasks, but has some strong differences like the ability to define several artifacts in one module, or more flexibility in the repository configuration or conflict management.
The maintainers of Ivy are interested in joining the Apache Software Foundation for several reasons:
* Ivy has been hosted since its beginning in 2004 by a corporate company, which make people feel like it's a corporate product, thus slowing the contribution by the community. We strongly believe in the open source movement, and would like to make Ivy independent from Jayasoft.

* We'd like to enjoy the benefits of utilizing Apache's infrastructure and legal protection.
* It might open the door for cooperation with other projects, such as Ant or Maven.
* We strongly believe in Apache philosophy, especially Meritocracy.

=== Reliance on Salaried Developers ===
Maarten is not paid to work on Ivy.
Xavier's case is more complex, as a co founder of Jayasoft, part of his time in Jayasoft was dedicated to Ivy and other open source developments. He now works mainly as an independant consultant, and thus is not a salaried developer.

=== Relationships with Other Apache Products ===
Ivy has a strong relationship with Apache Ant, and is often seen as a good companion of Ant. Being part of Apache could help for a closer collaboration between the two projects.
=== A Excessive Fascination with the Apache Brand ===
Even if we recognize the strong value of Apache Brand, the purpose of joining Apache is not focused on improving the visibility of the project. The main focus of this proposition is to make Ivy a more open project, with a closer integration with Apache Ant. Even if Ivy do not join the ASF, Ivy will move out of Jayasoft umbrella and try to attract more developers.
