That's a good question. I am not sure, but we can figure it out. The main question is whether the IP Clearance requirements have been met. I think they *may* have been met with the ICLAs but let's be sure.
I think the next step would be to write a summary about the history of the operator, covering questions like: what was the first release? who owns the copyright on that original code? who have the major contributors been since then? what is the status of the original repo and the current community fork?) Then, summarize what rights we have acquired through ICLA, CCLA, or SGA. Then, we can send that to the incubator mailing list and ask if it's sufficient. >From looking through the archives, I *think* the summary goes something like: >the first release was in 2019 by Himanshu Gupta, who is a Druid committer and >was at the time working at Splunk.

If so, I would suggest replying with that summary to the thread at https://lists.apache.org/thread/shl7lppxzf53xntw0mv1srtorolrj1qg, and asking if this is sufficient for us to accept the donation. I hope it is! Gian On 2025/06/24 21:16:32 Razin Bouzar wrote: > Adheip Singh has submitted an ICLA to the Druid PMC.
