Hi Mentors, I was wondering if you could help me settle a question. What is the ASF's stance on ICLAs for non-committer contributions? Are they required?
On the one hand, https://www.apache.org/dev/committers.html#applying-patches requires only that we attribute appropriately to form a legal papertrail via the git history. Also, this discussion ( http://marc.info/?l=incubator-general&m=142175320215392&w=2) seems to indicate that they are not required. On the other hand, http://www.apache.org/licenses/#clas indicates that the ASF "desires" ICLAs for contribution. I also see some projects requiring them (i.e. flink and brooklyn) of contributors. Thanks in advance for the clarification! Best, Casey
