Hi,
Obsidium has filled out a corporate CLA. It was mailed to Apache in
September last year. I have no idea about where I would look to confirm
it's been received. I did email Jim (Apache Foundation secretary) to
ask, but got no response.
I don't wish to ask anyone here to complete further documentation for
this very small piece of code. If what has been done so far is not
enough, I'll probably just drop the idea (though I would still be happy
to describe the concepts to anyone who wants to do a clean
reimplementation). There are no patentable concepts here, just a little
copyright which Obsidium are happy to grant as shown below.
Regards,
Simon

Well, the question is at what point it is just a normal commit (or
"was developed in our source control system") of one of our committers

I totally agree with staying on the safe side here and filling out an
ip-clearance document if you feel that's necessary.

Hi Simon,
it would be best if Obsidium could file a Corporate CLA for such donations, too.

Do you think you could get them to to this?
Plus, we might need to fill in an IP-clearance document at incubator.
I don't see this as being necessary in this case, cause the donation
is rather small in size (not as large as ADF Faces or Tobago ;), plus
done by an active ASF committer, but please (any more experienced ASF
committers/members/officers on this list) tell me if I'm wrong.
That's exactly what the IP-clearance document is for: Rather small donations.
See the previous documents: Some of them covering just one small C file.
And, of course, it does not matter if the one that bring's it in is an
active ASF committer or not. Why should it?
On the other hand I'm not sure if the CCLA is really necessary for
this. Although it would not harm, of course.
Ted, please correct me if I'm wrong.
Simon, could you please check the template at
http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/incubator/public/trunk/site-author/ip-clearance/ip-clearance-template.html
and fill in all that is applicable?
Thanks,
Manfred
