Rob,
OK - so more paperwork isn't needed.
But I'm unclear as whether the IP Clearance process is needed all.
I've just asked on general@incubator as to what best practice is.
What are your expectations/assumptions here?

Rob,
If this remains the consensus view, do we need to go through the IP
clearance process at all? Step 3 in [1] is
"""
A software grant must be provided to the ASF. This grant can either be
done by the ASF Corporate CLA (via Schedule B) or the traditional
License Agreement.
"""
So we could
1/ Do the normal project-only process, if this remains the consensus view
2/ Do the formal IP-clearance process
(2) can be useful for substantial contributions even if the strict terms
mean (1) is possible, just for clarity. If (1), we could still do it a
bit more formally - e.g. an email to dev@ with all the details, link to
JIRA so it is archived as happening with a passive consensus vote.
I don't mind which.
Andy

Hi All
I¹m in the process of carrying out IP Clearance for some code developed
outside of the ASF that my employer (Cray) has now agreed to
contribute to
the Apache Jena project where I am a committer and PMC member.
In this case the software was developed entirely by myself though
obviously
Cray holds the copyright. I have an ICLA on file for myself and Cray
filed
a CCLA for me when I originally joined the Apache Jena project as a
committer and PMC member. In this scenario is a SGA actually needed to
carry out IP Clearance of the contributed code or are the existing
ICLA and
CCLA sufficient?
Thanks,
Rob Vesse
