I will send the SGA this weekend.
Also I am going to try to decouple better. It is not because I am
trying be the BDFL, it is just in my nature to "mother hen" software
projects. I will be detach and I will let the PPMP form itself with
less influence from me. I will try to continue to help when I can, but
the PPMC must sink or swim based on the focus and motivation of the
people who wanted to be members, not on my urging.
If I am successful, you will hear less from me on these topics.

Hi,
No, AFAIK, no SGA's have been filed. The wording here is
https://incubator.apache.org/guides/ip_clearance.html is unclear to me under
"Establishing Provenance". Contributor in this case refers to copyright
holders, I assume?
This only applies to code you are giving to the ASF (it’s actually not a
transfer of copyright but permission to use), so this would only be the code
owned by the NuttX project. It doesn’t include 3rd party code in the repo. The
headers on those files owned by NuttX will change, but the headers of any 3rd
party code will need to stay the same.
I think the first step if for you to fill out a SGA and will discuss on legal
discuss if anything else is needed. I think because you were the only person
with commit right and the headers with your copyright that’s all that would be
required.
There are several files that will require corporate CLAs, I think, since the
copy right holders are businesses like Sony or Pinecone.
That’s not required as they are 3rd party files and belong to someone else.
CCLA in general are not needed by the ASF, they are there because some
companies require them for their employees to be able to work on OS software.
Thanks,
Justin
