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:

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.
