hmmm ... I wasn't in Dublin, but can think of two proposed policies that might have been discussed. The first is Cliff Schmidt's proposed third-party license policy here: http://people.apache.org/~cliffs/3party.html The second is Cliff Schmidt gave legal-discuss@ a heads up about a proposed source file header change back in June [1]. I've been tracking what needs to be done -- I think -- for Derby on DERBY-1377 [2], and that issue has a bunch of pointers into the legal-discuss@ list which might be helpful. But I'm still waiting for Cliff Schmidt to send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > (I can't find an earlier > message, I think from Jean, clarifying the procedure for the code > contributed by people whom we couldn't track). If it's the new source header policy I don't think it has much, if anything, to do with obtaining ICLA's from cayenne contributors, including the emeritus contributors. btw, the post mentioning emeritus Cayenne contributors is at [3]. I've been watching OFBiz in the Incubator because they have a similar situation. --Or at least I think it's OFBiz. I thought I saw recent Incubator traffic posting which specific code was tied to a contributor they couldn't locate, but I'm not readily spotting it. I'll hunt it down and post it when I find it. -jean [1] http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/www-legal-discuss/200606.mbox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] [2] http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1377 [3] http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-cayenne-dev/200604.mbox/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
