Hi,

all documents are signed and sent.

The return mail says:

"If you have been voted in as a committer, please advise the project PMC that your ICLA has been filed."

Another thing:

"textmarker" is an eponym for a (highlighter) brand in germany and textmarker is therefore of course a protected term for the product. I felt quite safe since the TextMarker system is just a small academic project and (as far as I know) it's not so problematic to use a term in a different domain in germany. But I have no clue if there might be any problem in future or because of some other legislation.

Besides that, there are also two other projects I know of called textmarker, e.g., a firefox plugin.

Maybe it would be prudent step to change the name of the system when committing since I have to rename all packages and stuff anyway.

What do you think?

Peter

 Hi,

yes, you are both right and the sandbox is a good place for it.

I'll take a look closer look at all the documents and information on the webpage/wiki. Is there anything that I shouldn't miss?

What would be the next step?


You need to sign an ICLA and send it to the ASF:
http://www.apache.org/licenses/icla.txt

Beside that a CCLA would be good to have:
http://www.apache.org/licenses/cla-corporate.txt

As far as I know we also need a Software Grant Agreement from your
employer, because you contribution is quite big, otherwise the
CLAs might have been enough.

Here is the link:

Hope that helps,
Jörn
