Hi all,

here at OFBiz we'd like to go on with the IP-clearance effort but, since we are going to contact *many* developers, we would like to be sure that the steps we'll perform are the correct ones.

Anyone here could help us to answer these questions? If not, could you please post a message to the legal-discuss list (it is only open to ASF committers) to see if we can get some feedback from them?

Thanks so much,

Jacopo

David,

maybe you are right... but the past contributions were made to the OFBiz project not to the ASF.

Are we sure we should use the ASF iCLA as is?

Hi all,

I have a question for you: what is the iCLA template we should collect from the OFBiz's contributors? The one here:

http://www.apache.org/licenses/icla.txt

?

If so, maybe I'm wrong but... I don't see how this document will address the change from a BSD to ASL license since it clearly states that the CLA is for "present and future Contributions submitted to the (Apache Software) Foundation".

Am I missing something?

I don't know if those words have any loaded meanings from a legal perspective, but I think "present" would include "past" contributions in the sense that at present they are part of the code base.

Or perhaps that isn't a safe way of looking at it?
