Dear IPMC: Recently Dell Software volunteered the donation of a sizable codebase that was built as an extension of Sqoop project. The Sqoop PMC decided in favor of including this codebase and the VOTE thread [1] and RESULT [2] are noted below for your reference. The work was performed over the next few months under the task SQOOP-1287 [3] and was completed on June 29, 2014.
The Sqoop PMC did due diligence with respect to obtaining the necessary software grant and ensuring the ownership rights to the codebase etc, we at the time did not fill the IP clearance template as we went along. We now have that template filled out and ready for review at [4]. Please take a moment to review [4] for completeness and accuracy and provide your feedback and suggestions as necessary.
