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

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.

Best wishes,

Neil
