Hi all, Firstly. thanks Tommaso for including the patch in the code! It's great that the development can now happen under ASF. Just 1 quick question, I have filled in my ICLA and got an acknowledgement from ASF but I don't have: (1) an account for SVN and (2) cannot commit to the trunk. How can these two things be sorted out?
Secondly, we thought about this copyright but we saw that some projects in ASF retained their Copyright headers (see Deltacloud that has been contributed by JBoss): https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/deltacloud/trunk/ It would be great if you could comment on that? Looking forward to your reply.
