Hi ilya, David, Thanks for the information!
I am working with Brocade Communications Systems and we are implementing a network plugin for their VDX integration for L2 services. We are targeting for 4.5 release. Some follow up questions: 1. Since I am not an Apache committer, I need not sign an Individual Contributor License Agreement? 2. For IP Clearance form for the plugin code, when do we send an email for the IP clearance and vote? Is it after the code review at the time of code merge to master branch? Thanks & Regards, Ritu S. -----Original Message----- From: David Nalley [mailto:da...@gnsa.us] Sent: Thursday, May 29, 2014 6:13 PM To: dev@cloudstack.apache.org Subject: Re: License to be signed for contributing to CloudStack On Thu, May 29, 2014 at 6:10 PM, Ritu Sabharwal <rsabh...@brocade.com> wrote: > Hi, > > > > I wanted to know if there are any license to be signed by individuals or > corporates to contribute to CloudStack. > > Thanks & Regards, > Ritu S. So, it depends. If you or your company is donating a significant contribution of code that was developed outside of the project; you probably need to go through IP Clearance. That typically involves a Software Grant Agreement or Contributor License Agreement. If you or your company are donating code that was developed inside the project, you probably don't need to sign anything unless it's a very large contribution. Also note that committers must sign an individual contributor license agreement for their account to be created. --David
