For the official position see http://www.apache.org/licenses/#clas
There is no requirement for a CCLA to be signed. The only requirement
that the ASF has in this area is that each committer signs an ICLA and
then abides by it.
For various reasons, the ability of a committer to contribute may be
restricted as a result of their employment. Where this is the case, the
employer signing a CCLA is just one option of many an employer may use
to lift some or all of those restrictions. Other options include
amendments to employment contracts or a letter explicitly granting
permission. Over the course of my involvement with the ASF I have used
all of these at various times with different employers.
The ASF treats all CCLAs and ICLAs as confidential. Therefore, our
default position is to neither confirm nor deny the existence of a CCLA
from any given company. Nor will we provide copies on request.
CCLAs are either for all employees or for named individuals. They are
not project specific.
My recommendation would be that you reach out internally at IBM either
to other ASF folks to see how they handled this or to HR/Legal to see
what - if anything - is required.
Given the number of people contributing to Apache projects that, based
on their email address, are employed by IBM, I'm sure this is a solvable
problem.
Kind regards,
Mark
