Prior to the alignment of ONAP under the LFN there was a Board level IP & Legal Subcommittee in place to review and make recommendations on any licensing exceptions. This subcommittee contained several Board Members and their corporate legal counsel. A similar subcommittee must now be established for ONAP Project a Series of LF Projects, LLC in advance of our upcoming release.
