Hi Valentine, The rules for company membership will depend on the foundation chosen and the charter that is being defined now. It will be an action item for the Gov WG.
At minimum the company will sign a binding contribution agreement. This will bind the company with regards to IP rights and licenses for the code contributed by its developers and few other niceties. Here is a sample contribution agreement to explain what I mean. https://www.onap.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/20/2017/02/onap_project_ccla.pdf Each foundation will have its own minimum legal requirement for this document. In addition if we join Linux F. or Apache, each member company will have to contribute to the budget unless Board creates an equivalent of no money associate class to help small start ups to join. Final set of requirements will be defined in the charter which is being worked on right now. Should be available in a few months.

What are the benefits (and duties) for the company when it's a contributor, compared to when its employees are contributing individually? Thanks for explaining.
