Hi Emmanuel, I just figured out what to do for my part, to fill the following form. http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/public/trunk/content/ip-clearance/ip-clearance-template.xml
I saw many good samples listed in http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/public/trunk/content/ip-clearance/, and guess I could follow them like the good one for Fortress made by Shawn. My question is the template is an XML file. When I get it ready, is it correct that I need to display the file as a human readable form so am able to print/scan and send to [email protected]? If so, any suggestion how to display it (in browser or whatever software with an XSLT stylesheet)? Not very sure. Thanks for help.

It's just > about signing a code donation (see ) Regarding thjis point (3), here is the response I have had : " that's covered by our committers iCLA, section 4, "You represent that you are legally entitled to grant the above license. If your employer(s) has rights...". So if someone commits code without their employer's permission it's clearly their responsibility. The same applies to software grants IMO, on our side we accept them if we can reasonably assume that whoever signed them is authorized to do so, and if someone wasn't it's also clearly their responsibility." Bottom line, there are two things that are required : - first, Kai Zheng must fill a code donation form and send it to [email protected] : "A software grant must be provided to the ASF. This grant can either be done by the ASF Corporate CLA (via Schedule B) or the traditional License Agreement. Acceptable methods of sending the grant to the ASF includes: * snail-mail to the ASF office and/or ASF officer * FAXing to the ASF office and/or an ASF officer * Emailing the scanned document to [email protected] /and/ [email protected]." (http://incubator.apache.org/ip-clearance/ip-clearance-template.html#form-filling) - each one of the kerby committer must be sure they understand the iCLA they submitted to The ASF : they do have to check with their management they are allowed to give the code they are writing to The ASF. If I understand correctly, this is the case, so we should be safe here. Thanks !
