The posting on gene...@incubator was a misdirected request since I'm
relying on recollections of the incubator list traffic from a year
or so ago. Involving someone who can speak with authority involved
would be helpful, that was the intent, but the wrong way to go about
it.
If existing code that is donated has to be cleared by the Incubator
(http://incubator.apache.org/ip-clearance/index.html) before being
merged into an existing ASF project, it would seem that the hurdle
to merge in a code base that wasn't donated would have to be higher.
IP clearance is only required for code donations i.e. code that is
being imported into Apache for further development. It's not required
for unmodified third-party dependencies. Please see this e-mail [1]
for more details.
