While having an ICLA is ideal, I think a recorded agreement from the major contributors is probably enough given the history here. You already have that from most of them. If some don’t answer then just record that and continue. It might be possible that other IPMC members might have a different view on this. > This however wasn't advised on the IP clearance process: > https://incubator.apache.org/ip-clearance/ip-clearance-template.html It does say "Either an Individual CLA or Corporate CLA is preferred to a Software Grant. All authors must sign an Individual CLA; or all owners of IP must sign one of the three documents and send to secretary “. I’m still slightly unclear on who the IP owners are. Sander is obviously one, but I would guess it’s the other 8 or so other major contributors or possibly in some cases their employers. Having an ICLA clears that up as the person states that any contributions they make they are allowed to do so and have their employers permission to do so.
