Hi, I've adapted code of the eid applet [1], which is partly ASL dual-licensed [2], i.e. the parts I've used. The code for xml signatures went into POI 3.11-beta3 [3], the latest stable is POI 3.12. The individual copyright holders of the eid applet gave me their approval [4], but I'm still missing the approval of FedICT [5], a belgium federal public service - it seems nobody of them feels responsible for that code. The new copyright holder seems to be e-Contract.be BVBA [4].
So looking at the IP clearance process [6]: @ 1.: I've became an ASF member recently, so I'll do @ 3.: apart of the announcement on [4] what form of approval is further required? as the copyright seemed to move to BVBA, would it be sufficient to ask Frank for a SGA [7]? @ 5.: "If the source is referenced by checksum in the grant ...", so if no specific release is mentioned and only certain files contain the ASL, do I need to snapshot anything? If yes, as there was no 1:1 adaption of the code, should I simply snapshot the files my work was based on or is it necessary to reproduce which parts went into the poi files? Thank you and best wishes, Andi PS: ... yes, the obvious issue is, that incubation is done in a timely different order ...
