The legal-discuss mailing list is for committers only. If a committer could pose the following question to the legal-discuss mailing list, I would appreciate it greatly. Scenario: A project (Project A) is set up on Source Forge by individuals as the only legal entities. Project A is setup under the Apache License V2. What would Project A need to do beforehand to ensure that all code committed to Project A's SVN is available for an existing ASF project to incorporate into it's code base in the following scenarios: 1) ASF committer incorporates code from Project A directly into the ASF project 2) Member of Project A submits a patch file to the JIRA of the ASF project 3) Non Member of Project A submits patch file from Project A to the JIRA of the ASF project. Thanks!
