Hi Regis,
I think the patch originator need to re-license the patch to APL v2, > otherwise, the > patch may not be taken. > I just got a response from Patrick Steele-Idem, the contributor of the patch. He asks what's required and suggests this: "I hearby state that my patch to the jpathwatch library is licensed under APL v2 (Apache portable license [1])" (where [1] is http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0) Would that be enough? Where would he have to post this? On this mailing list?
