Hi Incubator, See the email below from Alex Harui. I need help figuring out what to do here.
I'm not sure if Jeff was ever an employee of Macromedia or what the full situation is. Perhaps Alex can clarify if needed. Essentially, we wanted to offer Jeff commit rights to make the modification as suggested by Roy. But Jeff indicated he's too busy to do it. Since he owns the copyright and seems willing to donate the code, what would be the appropriate methodology here. Do we need a software grant? Would it be sufficient to have an ICLA on file from Jeff?
