I don't recall a discussion happening about granting license to the ASF when the repo moved to git. Looking at the git workflow guide[1], I don't see any mention of licensing.
In other projects (e.g. Avro[2] and Hive[3]) assigning license to the ASF is an important part of submitting a contribution. In those projects, people are instructed to attach their patches to an open jira so that license can be granted; pull requests from github generally aren't allowed. Do we have a stance as a project on this? I think those two projects basically say that the grant is required by the Apache License itself. Are there ASF rules that can provide guidance on this? -Sean [1]: http://accumulo.apache.org/git.html [2]: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/AVRO/How+To+Contribute#HowToContribute-Contributingyourwork [3]: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/HowToContribute#HowToContribute-Contributingyourwork -- Sean
