I probably can't make a ruling on this without bringing in other Apache folks, but how many people are we talking about and how many had significant contributions? If someone just added a null check or two, I would imagine an email might be sufficient. If someone wrote more than 25% of the code, they should probably co-sign the software grant. > >As far as Swiz being a registered trademark, certainly not by us.

I think there is a car and an insulin tester called "Flex". If you have registered "Swiz Framework", then Apache will want unrestricted use of it. For example, the Flex trademark was donated to Apache via a separate agreement. -Alex
