Yea; since all of your significant contributors (excluding simple maintenance fixes and things that can't be copyrighted, such as data or facts) assigned license as GPL, they need to relicense their work as Apache License, sign a grant for their contributions or just file an iclas and offer their patch(es) to this list. How many are we talking about (in the significant category)? The easiest way probably depends on how many people, how easy they are to contact, etc. > For the moment, though, I think we're just waiting for some > feedback from other httpd developers and especially those with > some experience of the Incubator process.

I'd prefer that we simply sponsor this effort under the httpd PMC here at our project. We have to file an IP code clearance through the Incubator, but that's relatively simple (and a good part is finished already now that the appropriate paperwork is filed with the secretary). Does anyone feel that the addition of mod_fcgid should be driven through the incubator? Speaking first hand, it didn't resolve the shortcomings of lack of community behind mod_aspdotnet, and didn't really give mod_ftp the visibility it needed (and attracted once it graduated). So for most existing modules, I don't think it solves many of the problems we might or might not face here at httpd.
