Apologies for not doing my job and talking about this earlier. Software grants ----------------------
Whenever code enters the ASF, it needs to be clearly defining the intellectual property. In the case of our day to day commits; this is handled by our ICLA. In the case when our ICLA is being used as a part of our employment, we have the addition of the CCLA. This doesn't cover work that has been developed outside of the ASF. Regardless of who did the work; if a body of existing code is donated to the ASF - a Software Grant needs to be signed and faxed/snailed: bottom of http://www.apache.org/licenses/. --- I'm unsure if there's a way to speed this up for the model where a 3rd party (IBM/Sun/JavaLobby/whomever) are maintaining an internal version of Roller with enhancements - a model where we'd hope to be able to encourage frequent donations of bodies of code. I'll try to find that out. Hen
