IMHO only Andrew, as Oracle representative, can commit the patches. The idea is to ensure that patches are granted by Oracle without the need to ask for another software grant for this particular cws. I guess this should be the procedure people should follow if interested in getting cws code granted by Oracle; the other way is to ask for a software grant on every file in the cws, but I guess that this won't scale (Oracle will have to redo the same amount of work they did for the original software grant). Concerning this particular case, once Andrew commits the patches, there should be some agreement on what to do: IMHO, the first thing should be to ensure that the code builds in Windows, Linux and MacOSX (that cws didn't originally take into account OS2 nor FreeBSD), otherwise there is the chance that changes made for OS2/FreeBSD/Solaris/etc end up breaking something that was actually working in the cws; and it may be then hard to guess where and why it got broken (just like the boost/stlport case).
