That doesn't look to be the case and I've just started a VOTE here to
reject such grants in the future.

Thanks John, I would clarify this on the contributing organization side, and 
pass
that along to the mentors. Thanks.

Considering that the committers in question had CLAs on file, I would be
surprised if 3rd Party Code were brought in.

Hi Bertrand,

I believe they were supposed to provide a list to go along with that zip file. 

Can you double check?

Cheers,
Chris

Hi,

I'm mentoring a podling where a large initial code donation just happened.

The corresponding software grant points to a large zip file indicating
that the donation consists of that file's contents, "excluding any
third-party and separately licensed material" that it contains.

My understanding is that this puts the burden on the ASF to review
each and every file found in there, and decide whether we can safely
include it in an ASF release or if it's third-party and separately
licensed.

Do people agree with that interpretation?

Have people seen similar cases before, and if yes how were they handled?

How to handle exclusions in a software grant?

[Bertrand Delacretaz]

Hi,

I'm mentoring a podling where a large initial code donation just happened.

The corresponding software grant points to a large zip file indicating
that the donation consists of that file's contents, "excluding any
third-party and separately licensed material" that it contains.

My understanding is that this puts the burden on the ASF to review
each and every file found in there, and decide whether we can safely
include it in an ASF release or if it's third-party and separately
licensed.

Do people agree with that interpretation?

Have people seen similar cases before, and if yes how were they handled?
