Why the hell is everything so fucking complicated? We need to discuss every single bit of everything. That makes sense for ASF but not for me as a developer who wants to bring amazing new stuff to NetBeans or wherever and wants to help NetBeans gets better and better. It is annoying for me and a pain in the ass to help here IMHO. Yes, it is as it is probably but it prevents me from helping here to bring plugins that are not maintained anymore and handover to other developers into NetBeans in an easy way. I think some other devs jumped of from NetBeans, due to exact that barriers.
Anyway, I will create a ticket at his repo, ask him and will let you know here. Cheers Chris Von: Neil C Smith Gesendet: Donnerstag, 28.

That’s it? No, it needs to be recorded here somewhere. Note that all GitHub comments are archived by ASF, so this could verify intent to contribute. You should also check section 7 of the ICLA you signed. The IP clearance process is different to the principal that contributors don't need a CLA, only committers do. So when does one take precedence? The word "substantial" is woolly! And what about incubator vs non-incubator? Anyway, the Restart IDE plugin as an example certainly doesn't pass the "large" or "clever" threshold. It's arguably so trivial it's not copyrightable at all! It probably belongs in another module though.
