Re: [VOTE][IP CLEARANCE] Cassandra CPP Driver

[C. Scott Andreas]

Yep to be clear, I don’t mean for that to interfere with this vote or the donation - just spot checked the commit listed on the form. It seems that these commits could easily be contributed to the respective drivers post-donation if needed. I am still +1 and very grateful for these contributions to the project. 👍 - Scott On Nov 11, 2025, at 8:03 PM, Bret McGuire <bret.mcgu...@gmail.com> wrote:     Both the C/C++ and Python driver have "extra" commits added after the IP clearance form was created.  In C/C++ case the commit in question was driven by the branch pruning completed as part of the donation process, while for the Python driver this came about due to branch pruning combined with the release of 3.29.3.  If I'm not mistaken all of these commits come from myself (a PMC member) or Brad Schoening (a Cassandra committer).  The only exception that I've found is one commit (https://github.com/datastax/python-driver/commit/b144a84a1f97002c4545b335efaac719519cd9fa) on the Python driver from Daniel Bershatsky, and I've confirmed that we do have a signed DataStax CLA from him.  I would welcome anybody who wants to double-check those results! :)    Given this information it seems like we're covered from a copyright/licensing question for all contributions since the SHAs specified in the IP clearance form.  That said, I am certainly NOT a lawyer so I will wait for Mick (or somebody else who knows more about this than I do) to enumerate what steps (if any) we need to take here.    - Bret - On Tue, Nov 11, 2025 at 5:01 PM C.

The vote will be open for 72 hours (or longer). Votes by PMC members are considered binding. A vote passes if there are at least three binding +1s and no -1's. +1
