Marmotta PPMC : Don't forget to be clear about the licensing for new contributions when the code is "somewhere on the web".
Good point, Andy, we should set up a proper protocol to accept contributions to the project.
There's a difference between code that is appropriately licensed and code that is contributed/granted. Both can be used - the mechanism is different. Granted or contributed code gets the * 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. whereas code using the AL but not contributed would say: * Copyright [yyyy] [name of copyright owner] * * Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the "License"); * you may not use this file except in compliance with the License.
In this case this is not a regular contribution, where a patch or new code is provided. But this is more an idea how to improve the administration user interface by adopting a quite spread html framework. Thomas could give us more details how he is implementing MARMOTTA-233; fmpov the html provided by David may be just a guide to achieve the goal, more than the actual implementation we would need to do in FreeMarker.
David - you said "Could this be merged in Marmotta?" so I think this is reasonably clear you are contibuting the modifications under the usual grant-to-Apache model (as if it were added to a JIRA). Is that right?
But that does not mean that David could add a proper license to his contribution. David, could you please clarify this point? Thanks!
