The donation of the java-driver is ready for its IP Clearance vote.

The SGA has been sent to the ASF.  This does not require acknowledgement 
before the vote.


Once the vote passes, and the SGA has been filed by the ASF Secretary, 
we will request ASF Infra to move the datastax/java-driver as-is to 
apache/java-driver


This means all branches and tags, with all their history, will be kept.  
A cleaning effort has already cleaned up anything deemed not needed.


Background for the donation is found in CEP-8: 
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CASSANDRA/CEP-8%3A+DataStax+Drivers+Donation 


PMC members, please take note of (and check) the IP Clearance 
requirements when voting.


The vote will be open for 72 hours (or longer). Votes by PMC members are 
considered binding. A vote passes if there are at least three binding 
+1s and no -1's.


regards,
Mick

 Of course it shouldn’t be shared publicly but not sure how PMC can
 fulfil its verification function here without it

The software grant agreement covers all donated code. The ASF does not need any historical agreements. The agreement giving the ASF copyright etc is the Software Grant Agreement. Yes, any future work done after donation needs to be covered by ASF CLAs.But happy to see someone ask legal@ to confirm this so we can move forward.On Oct 6, 2023, at 3:33 AM, Benedict wrote:Are we certain about that?
