I'm not en expert, but as far as I understand code *Copyright* and *verification of Distribution Rights* (Licences of the dependencies) are different things\activities. And looks like both are needed for IP Clearance (although http://incubator.apache.org/ip-clearance/ does not exit for a while, says google cache)
My question was more about only the mandatory procedure which must be done before bringing any code to the new apache repo, which I'm not sure what exactly is :) My educated guess is in prev. email but it would be really nice to have a mentor's hand here! Here is a current list of contributes with number of commits they'v made: == Initial committers, CLA ack 865 Lee moon soo 185 anthony corbacho 130 Alexander Bezzubov 29 Damien Corneau 27 Kevin Kim == Non-CLA, No-SGA 14 epahomov 9 Corey Huang 8 Mina Lee 4 Akshat Aranya 3 yundai 3 Corey Huang 1 kevindai0126 1 Young boom 1 Vincent Botta 1 Julien Buret If that's what is needed I can email everybody from the second group with SGA submission request. Should it be sent to secretary or does it make sense to tighten a feedback loop and aggregate them and sent in a batch? AFAIK, after initial code dump is done we can address other issues like adding headers, removing author tags, renaming packages, verifying that all dependencies complies with Apache policy, etc in a regular way of preparing a first apache release (creating JIRA issues for each of those activities and so on) On Tue, Jan 6, 2015 at 12:52 PM, moon soo Lee <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I have curious about this right to the code base, too. > What is difference between code from non-CLA contributor and one of our > dependency that is Apache2 license?
