v01d opened a new issue #1954: URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-nuttx/issues/1954
The idea would be to run the CI clearance scripts (#1834) as part of the "check" step of CI in a similar vein to how nxstyle is used: - analize all files touched by the PR - if the file does not have an Apache header yet, use the script to verify if it can be converted to Apache safely - if so, fail the check The PR author should then have to convert the files to apache by altering the header apropriately in a separate commit and include in that commit all relevant tracing data (there could be a script for this as well, to avoid any copy paste). Following this approach, all cleared files would end up having an easy to find commit in their history which can help clearance progress. Processing Apache licensed files which do not have this commit in their history could also be checked in order to validate that they were correctly converted (ie, an author without ICLA has not touched ever the file). Another thing to consider is to check if the authors of the changes included in the PR have signed an ICLA (the same scripts can be used for that purpose). I think that this is only important for not-cleared or non Apache licensed files since once they are Apache licensed I understand that it is not necessary for a non-commiter to sign an ICLA since they would be already accepting the license terms when doing so. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
