I ask because I always assumed that the ASF grants redistribution rights to all artifacts to everybody. So if the distribution rights are granted to the ASF, but not to the general public, the models might be redistributed through the UIMA website, but if I wanted to include them in a distribution, I would require an explicit permission from the University of Nantes. If that interpretation is correct, then I would be worried about my understanding and handling of the ASL.
So is it correct to assume that if the distribution rights are transferred the ASF, that also the right to grant distribution rights is transferred to the ASF and that the ASF in turn grants distribution rights to the general public?
