The SGAs signed by Oracle are, to the best of my knowledge, unmodified. The source text can be found at http://www.apache.org/licenses/software-grant.txt The scope does not extend beyond the listed files. If there are files you think are needed we can talk to Oracle to see if we can have those too. I'm not sure whether it covers just one version or all versions, my guess is if we were given history then it would extend to that history too but that is my *guess* only. What is certain is that the grant covers all IP in the files listed and supplied to us. > 2.

The signed documents are private because they contain private contact details, however the text is at http://www.apache.org/licenses/software-grant.txt. This is the text of the SGA signed by Oracle as I note above. > It'd be really useful to have a statement on that - or perhaps I just > missed an existing one, help appreciated ! If you need a firmer/clearer statement than that (i.e. from someone on the legal committee rather than an observer like me) then feel free to post to legal-disc...@apache.org where our VP Legal Affairs will be happy to respond.
