Yes, the copyright must be assigned to the ASF. As the header claims that the Newcastle University owns copyright I think a software grant is required, either in form of a Software Grant Agreement (SGA) or in form of a Corporate CLA (CCLA). A CCLA is preferred if Macjej and Lukasz are still employees of NCL and continue to contribute to the project during working hours. I'm not sure which process [3] or [4] is the right one in this case because it isn't a initial podling code base but still Amber is a podling. IMO the [email protected] ML should be asked. Kind Regards, Stefan PS: If you are looking for an additional mentor I'd be glad to help.
