Re: [VOTE] Do not accept software grants with conditionals or exclusions

Re: [VOTE] Do not accept software grants with conditionals or exclusions

I don't have a vote here, but I"m now confused about what problem is being solved. Is it, as Stian says, that an entity is being lazy and did not attempt to review the contents of the grant before donating? I thought the goal is to just keep folks from bothering us with additional language on

Re: [VOTE] Do not accept software grants with conditionals or exclusions

+1 However it should be OK (and perhaps even encouraged) for the archive to list in NOTICE or similar that some of the files are not legally owned by the donating entity, for instance other open source files that have been used – legally they can’t be part of the IP grant (unless the donating

Matt, you're saying the same thing, except it's not one individual but two [1] (spmallette + okram) , who own the vast majority of the IP. They also claim to be in the possession of CLAs from the other contributors. The problem was not insufficient data to substantiate claims, but TMI.
