Hi,

The code is not released under a different license. I contributed it under the CLA, which I signed. The question is only if it is necessary for the organization who paid for the work to sign the (corporate) CLA too. I thought Jody suggested this was not strictly necessary if I got the permission to contribute, perhaps he can clarify?

The issue is simply a matter of red tape, about who should/can actually sign it; not an unwillingness to contribute under the geoserver license.

Kind Regards

Niels

Ah, I just remembered this one:

https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/wiki/GSIP-186

This proposal allows to contribute without CLA, even at the extension level (so far I believe we have only one at the community module level, GSR).
Check out the restrictions for this kind of module.

Cheers
Andrea

    That said... while Jody did not vote, his CLA feedback is valid.
    We can't have the metadata module if the CLA bit
    has not been addressed. This is a blocker.

        Hi Niels,
        let's see what the rules say:

        
https://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/developer/policies/gsip.html#voting-on-a-gsip

        In particular:

            Voting remains open for ten days or until all PSC members
            have cast their vote.
            * At the end of ten days time any remaining votes are
            assumed to be +0.

            A GSIP is accepted if it receives:
            * at least 30% “+1” votes, and
            * no “-1” votes (or all feedback from any “-1” votes has
            been addressed and any “-1” voters have changed their votes)

        Considering Jukka's last vote (still to be recorded in the
        GSIPs) I believe both proposals have passed.

        Cheers
        Andrea

            Thank you, Jukka!


            Can I assume then that the absent votes are +0 and that
            both proposals are accepted?

            Kind Regards

            Hello everyone,

            So if I get it right GSIP-311 has sufficient votes
            (three +1, no -1), but GSIP-312 doesn't (no -1, but only
            two +1). Does anyone else still want to add a vote?

            Kind Regards

            Niels

                Hey Niels!

                Not quite sure I understand the CLA question; if you
                did the work on behalf of a particular government
                department and had their permission/authority to
                donate to OSGeo then you should be good. If you are
                really interested in being careful you could ask the
                manager (whoever paid you or authorized the work) to
                sign a "Corporate contributor license
                
<https://www.osgeo.org/wp-content/uploads/corporate_contributor.pdf>",
                and name the body of the work (metadata and csw-iso)
                as the contributed work in "Schedule B" at the
                bottom of the document.

                Although it says "corporate" it is really:

                    ​"You" (or "Your") shall mean the copyright
                    owner or legal entity authorized by the
                    copyright owner that is making this Agreement
                    with the Foundation. "You" (or "Your") shall
                    mean the copyright owner or legal entity
                    authorized by the copyright owner that is making
                    this Agreement with the Foundation.

                So a government should be able to sign it.

                    Hello,

                    I have written up two proposals to promote
                    community modules "metadata"
                    and "csw-iso" to extensions.

                    https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/wiki/GSIP-311

                    https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/wiki/GSIP-312

                    I believe stability, test coverage, users, are
                    all okay. Please discuss.

                    One question about copyrights though: the
                    metadata module was mostly
                    written by me (who signed CLA) as part of a
                    contract particular
                    government department. I believe they
                    technically have copyrights, and
                    agreed to open source it. What would be required
                    though? Should they
                    sign CLA for businesses?

                    Kind Regards
