I think that would be nice, although not mandatory to preserve

Even if that history contains the previous GPL licensed version of

What's more important is that we be able to verify that all the
code is clean from an intellectual property point of view:
<http://incubator.apache.org/ip-clearance/index.html>
So IIUC one prerequesite to getting the code into the Apache
repository is having CLAs on file for all contributors? How do we
know what the status is in that respect?
Okay, according to <http://people.apache.org/~jim/committers.html>
CLAs are on file for myself, Damien, and Jan. Noah Slater's is
still not listed although he has supposedly faxed in the form weeks
ago. The remaining two guys from the proposal I don't even know,
they're no longer active in the community AFAIK.
Hmm. We need CLA's before we can create accounts for people.
People who don't have accounts can e-mail me and include the
following information
Preferred username:
Full Name:
Forwarding e-mail address (where your <username>@apache.org mail will
be forwarded to):
And I'll request accounts, once I see that the CLA has gone on file.
(BTW, how would I go about resetting the password/pubkey for my
account? It's been too many years since I last used it :/ )
I believe you'll have to file an infrastructure request for that.
Other than that, is any action needed with respect to the
following external code included with the CouchDB source:
One thing that's not clear to me is whether these things need to be
completely sorted out before the repository is set up and
populated, or only before graduation.
This:
<http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/
Incubation_Policy.html#Setting+Up+a+New+Podling>
doesn't mention anything about IP clearance, while this:
<http://incubator.apache.org/incubation/
Incubation_Policy.html#Minimum+Graduation+Requirements>
does.
IP Clearance has to be done by graduation, not before we can import
any code.
I've just created the repository directory for couchdb:
