For the moment, these are entirely an Apache questions. The first step is for this project to determine what files to request, and what licenses are not likely to be a problem. For simple requests, somebody from Oracle (likely Andrew) simply committing the individual files is sufficient. He may need to consult with Oracle legal, but that's his problem. :-) It may make sense for us to ask for subsequent Software Grant(s). The ASF Secretary (Craig Russell) and others will help with this, should it be necessary. Unless somebody has a good reason to proceed otherwise, I am of the opinion that if we need to go this route we should not proceed with something known to be incomplete. That doesn't mean that we can't make subsequent requests, but we should make reasonable efforts to minimize such. As to determining what licenses are not a problem for the ASF, that should be discussed on [email protected]. If this podling needs answers, it can get the issue tracked by opening a report using JIRA. If we need to update our policies on the web site to make something clearer as to what is acceptable or not acceptable, then a JIRA report is the first step. http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/www-legal-discuss/ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL - Sam Ruby
