Hi Robert -
I have some confusion about the IP form. The page
http://incubator.apache.org/ip-clearance/index.html seems to be written
with an implicit assumption that a "Top level project" with a real,
project level PMC is doing the receiving - so there are phrases like:
The receiving PMC is responsible for doing the work. The Incubator
is simply the repository of the needed information. Once a PMC
directly checks-in a filled-out short form, the Incubator PMC will
need to approve the paper work after which point the receiving PMC
is free to import the code.
Other places say that this IP Clearance work needs to be done by an ASF
Officer or Member: for instance, on page
http://incubator.apache.org/ip-clearance/ip-clearance-template.html it says:
IP Clearance processing must be executed either by an Officer or a
Member of the ASF.
So, my basic question is: does this process apply to incubator projects
which, while incubating, receive additional code via a software grant,
and if so, is the "receiving PMC" the Incubator PMC or the
podling-learning-mode-unofficial-PMC (of which I think I am a member)?
And, if we are to use the IP Clearance form, how do we have the
processing "executed" by an Officer or Member of the ASF?
Thanks for your help and guidance, as usual :-) -Marshall

remember to fill in the incubator IP clearance form :-)
