OK. So Nick, please get the company lawyers to do a Corporate Contributor License Agreement (CCLA) or an Apache Software Grant for this.
Here's a short description of these https://www.apache.org/licenses/#clas ; read the sections on Contributor License Agreements (CLA) (where it talks about the Corporate CLA (Contributor License Agreement) and the Software Grant; there are links to both forms. Of these two alternative forms, I would suggest you get your company to do the CCLA (which includes a Software Grant form) - that way, you get them to document that they're allowing you in particular to work on UIMA things in open source. Once this is received, we'll do the IP clearance and move this into an SVN spot. Also, please do a personal CLA. Thanks! -Marshall On 5/29/2015 12:53 PM, Nick Hill wrote: > Sounds good to me.
