Hi Maciej, thanks a lot for the update. As noticed as well from you this IP clearance issue seems to be a pretty "big deal" for the project. IANAL but I think it would block our first release if we can not solve it. And consequently this would block our potential graduation plan. For this reason it would be nice to have a clear picture of the current situation and also from the past. Just to be clear my intention is only to understand and trying to move forward. If any of my questions would look inquisitive or "rude" I do apologize in advance. As long as I understood Leeloo was a project started under the umbrella of the Newcastle University. At a certain point you guys decided to donate to the ASF. Did the Newcastle University agreed at that point? If yes, does still agree now? If yes, :) what is the real blocker/issue? Is it more a formal issue? Is there any way we (project members/mentors) can help speed the process?
Thanks a lot for your effort on it and regards Antonio On Mar 2, 2012, at 6:52 PM, Maciej Machulak wrote: > I've sent emails to various departments at my Uni and included OSS > Watch to help.
