Hello,
we have green light now from the Universities of Colorado and Darmstadt.
I have prepared a ZIP of the current trunk sources and the wiki contents at
http://code.google.com/p/uimafit/downloads/detail?name=uimaFIT-grant-staging-rev-919.zip
SHA1: 010d2f2880cd502b08a6e2659041aa025689cd20
Please have a look if this is an acceptable format to contribute uimaFIT as a
kind of "patch". The file is also up for review by the uimaFIT developers.
If this format is ok, we would proceed setting up two Software Grant Agreement,
one for Colorado, one for Darmstadt, in which
the file name and the SHA1 sum would be listed under the section "Exhibit A".
These would be signed by representatives of the
two institutions, be scanned and e-mailed (to whom, I do not know yet).
Most contributors have been affiliated with either of these two institutions
when they were working on uimaFIT. One of the uimaFIT core developers (Steven)
has continued contributing as private persons after leaving the respective
institution. One contributor mentioned in the source code (Fabio) has affirmed
by mail that there is no objection against a grant and claims no IP. Please
advice if we need a separate SGA signed by the two uimaFIT contributors who
have contributed on the project partly or completely as a private person.
Best,
-- Richard
