I just sent an email to the dev list on activeMQ.
http://activemq.2283324.n4.nabble.com/Possible-HornetQ-donation-to-ActiveMQ-td4682971.html
I would like our community to participate on the discussion as well...
Have you been an user, a contributor, an one-off committer, we would all like to hear what you think.
The best would be to join the ActiveMQ dev list and post your answer to that list
