I'll admit I haven't read every [hivemind] message on this, but I've read
quite a few of them, and the precise situation still isn't quite clear to

If I understand it correctly, all of the code in HiveMind was either:

1) moved to the j-c-sandbox from tapestry

or

2) created new in the j-c-sandbox by Howard

the trouble being that some of the work under #2 was done on WebCT's dime,
and that while Howard believed that was acceptable to WebCT at the time,
now there seems to be some ambiguity in the matter.


Is that correct?

Howard, can you explain in more detail:

A) What exactly is WebCT asserting with respect to HiveMind?

They assert that any contribution of the code to the ASF should originate with them, rather than soley with me.

That's reasonable if it was a work-for-hire, isn't it?




B) What exactly WebCT would like to do/plans to do/would like the ASF to
do as a result of that?

The proposal for HiveMind will note the "generous donation of code to the ASF".

Just in the proposal? I can't imagine that there would be a problem with that, although any requirements after that would most likely be problematic.
