Re: ICLA?

2018-06-07 Thread Hen
Yup. It came up in early release votes.

This is software that was published already under Apache 2.0 by DMLC before
coming to the ASF. There are hundreds of contributors and no one copyright
owner who could sign a software (license) grant. All ASF committers signed
ICLAs. The request (going by memory) was to try and get folk to sign ICLAs
or software (license) grant.

It's one of those "you do a some diligence, and draw a line as to the right
place to stop doing diligence because otherwise you would be diligencing
forever" situations.

Hi,

Sorry if I'm mistaken (possible as I've not followed your project closely) but 
to me this sounds like more part of the initial IP Clearance process. Podlings 
can't make a release until that has been completed. [1]

Yes. This was a back and forth last September or so. The Incubator PMC ask
was that we seek to get agreements from heavy contributors. It's a hard one
to say exactly what heavy is, thus I listed by number of contributions and
my list below is an eye ball for where the center of mass is committer-wise.

Interesting, but how about the current process, as far as I understand
anybody can contributing to apache repo without signing CLA, only comitters

Re: ICLA?

2018-06-07 Thread Hen
Authoring matters, not merging.

If we're able to get license grants/ICLAs signed by the following GitHub
users, that would be great:

sneakerkg
kevinthesun
hjk41
mavenlin
tornadomeet
winstywang
qiaohaijun
vchuravy
Roshrini
howard0su
sbodenstein
ptrendx

And they may now be committers and signed ICLA, just hadn't back in
September 2017.

Maybe I was wrong, The existing code in the DMLC repo is merged by original
committers(who are now Apache MXNet comitters and signed CLA). So I assume
there is no such problem. Similar to the case that only comitter to the
Apache MXNet repo has to sign CLA

This list was former contributors to DMLC who did not become Apache
committers.

Ideally some chunk of the larger contributors would sign ICLAs or software
(license) grants.

Thanks a lot Isabel!

Considering ICLAs are automatically managed by the secretary of Apache
before anybody can become a committer and no CLA is required for
non-committers, I'd say that we can delete that wiki page.

Does anybody disagree?

Re: ICLA?

2018-06-05 Thread Marco de Abreu
Henry, was this document only related to the migration towards Apache or do
we have to keep it up to date? I've heard that sometimes  every contributor
has to sign it before a PR can be accepted.

I have seen other communities that use a bot to keep track of signed ICLA
documents, but I don't know if we have to follow that. We know that Nvidia
emoloyees, for example, are not allowed to sign these documents.
