Kevin, are you the sole author of the code? Was it a work-for-hire? You wrote that "Our lawyers have finally had a chance to review the Apache Public License and contributors documents (long story short they had no problems)." Who is "Our"? I ask those questions in terms of the IP ownership. I see that all of the files are copyright to Sofari. I cannot locate a reference to "Sofari" as a corporate entity, but peerfear.org is registered to you. > AFAIK since it needs a donation document signing it should probably go > through the incubator. Grey area. If there is a company involved that isn't Kevin's sole proprietorship, it would be best to get a software grant. If the code is exclusively Kevin's with no company (what is Sofari?), then it should be covered by Kevin's CLA. > IIRC avalon pushed through a similar incubation with the > minimum of fuss very quickly recently but you'll probably > need a member to champion it through for this to happen. Similar. External codebase. The author was not a committer. Provided a software grant (and was made a committer by the Avalon PMC during the interim), and had the code reviewed (preliminary review found GPL dependencies that were removed). Went into an existing codebase with ASF Committers waiting for it. All in all, seems a worthwhile and easy thing to do. The RSS code could be handy in several projects (possibly something in James, possibly in OpenIM, etc.). --- Noel --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
