So folks on the ASF Slack back both ;) Essentially it boils down to risk management I guess. So this are my thoughts: If we accept contributions under Section 5 / without ICLA, we are at a larger risk that the contribution may be contested. So we should not do this for significant contributions - but if somebody corrects a typo, fixes a trivial bug, etc. it might be acceptable risk. If possible, an ICLA should be requested. In particular it must be provided before anybody actually may become a committer. Cheers, -- Richard
