> Whether an SGA is signed or not, Realtek needs to be cognizant of the fact
that they are granting the code the Apache Software Foundation. The ASF now
owns the code; the ASF now holds the copyright. Other uses of this code by
Realtek in the future could not violate the ASF's copyright. I hope that we do
not encounter such a legal dilemma. Signing the SGA would make this gift to the
ASF much more explicit.
I might have that wrong. I sometimes think I know more than I really do.
The actual test of the file header is:
* Licensed to the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) under one or more
* contributor license agreements. See the NOTICE file distributed with
* this work for additional information regarding copyright ownership.
The
* ASF licenses this file to you under the Apache License, Version 2.0
(the
* "License"); you may not use this file except in compliance with the
* License. You may obtain a copy of the License at ....
This is probably why it is important to sign the contributor agreement (SGA
and ICLA). Nothing was added to the NOTICE file, right? The alternative that
Realtek probably really wanted was to release this as third party code.
