Cliff Schmidt mentioned the header thing in reply to my question. Not
sure where it originated from. He was giving a 6 hour legal
presentation (!!!) one day, which I didn't attend because of the bad
case of ADD :-)
Regarding missing CLA's, looks like we don't have a solution now.
Let's follow up on that later. BTW, looks like Andriy is the last
person who've made big contributions and whose CLA we don't have. And
he made an effort to send his CLA - so hopefully the ASF received it,
just overlooked it somehow. So I still hope that this issue will
resolve itself.

2. Migrate to Apache package naming and license. I've heard some
conflicting information at ApacheCon Dublin that the new soon-to-be-

hmmm ... I wasn't in Dublin, but can think of two proposed policies
that
might have been discussed.
The first is Cliff Schmidt's proposed third-party license policy here:
http://people.apache.org/~cliffs/3party.html
The second is Cliff Schmidt gave legal-discuss@ a heads up about a
proposed source file header change back in June [1]. I've been
tracking
what needs to be done -- I think -- for Derby on DERBY-1377 [2], and
that issue has a bunch of pointers into the legal-discuss@ list which
might be helpful. But I'm still waiting for Cliff Schmidt to send
email
to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
(I can't find an earlier
message, I think from Jean, clarifying the procedure for the code
contributed by people whom we couldn't track).
If it's the new source header policy I don't think it has much, if
anything, to do with obtaining ICLA's from cayenne contributors,
including the emeritus contributors. btw, the post mentioning
emeritus
Cayenne contributors is at [3].
I've been watching OFBiz in the Incubator because they have a similar
situation. --Or at least I think it's OFBiz. I thought I saw recent
Incubator traffic posting which specific code was tied to a
contributor
they couldn't locate, but I'm not readily spotting it. I'll hunt it
down
and post it when I find it.
