I'd like to see a non apache.netbeans branch if it would result in some
modules that could be installed into regular NB. I'd contribute PRs once
and a while for bugfixes, maybe more as time permits.
If netbeans is ever interested in it, it could be merged.

Okay so digging through other emails on the subject I find a lot of the old
code including python code in the Mercurial / hg repository as mentioned
previously here [1] as well as Tim's Maven-ized version here [2]
So the question is, to get "python" brought in is this as simple as
(1) make a python branch,
(2) merge in the "mavenized" code where applicable
(3) make sure compiles
(4) make sure unit tests work
(5) If not already done, assume may need some tweaks (i.e. maybe IP,
headers, change over to any "apache" applicable, etc?)
(6) raise a PR for inclusion

Is anyone working on python? If not, what needs to be done to start the
ball rolling? Is it still pending Oracle vetting for the donation?

Hopefully there isn’t a newer thread on this but was looking through
old emails.
Assume this is related to
NETBEANS-4538 Please support Python.
Is the contribution in question the same as associated with the
nbpython.org project? On that site it seems to indicate it’s dual
licenses.
I looked at the nbpython.org site which seems to be slightly broken
(i.e. forum and contribute areas fail to load). There has been no activity
it appears since around 2015 if I’m reading it correctly.
Are the contributions available on the hg site? Looking there at
hg.netbans.org I don’t see anything so not sure where else to look.

What needs to be done by us individually?
I contributed a bit of build logic about 6 years ago.
Whichever commits are attributed to me, I'd obviously donate.
I had also signed the OCA before.

Everyone on my team was required to sign the OCA before committing
code was allowed.
I'm sure we could sign something else if need be.
Most of the code was written by Sun employees who are long gone.
I am not able to work on the project, except for consults like this.

Hi,

The argument could be made that since the code was part of contrib

yes - and assuming, that correct procedure was followed all
contributions to netbeans had to be covered by an OCA. (for all this
IANAL applies)
Oracle puts itself into a position of massive power when requiring
the
OCA (applies to all projects using CLAs). Oracle is the only entity,
that can for example take the OpenJDK Code, slab their "Oracle JDK"
label on and sell it with a license, that is incompatible with the
GPLv2-CPE. This is only possible, because every contriutor has to
sign
the OCA and thus gives Oracle a full license.
I quote from the OCA:
You agree that each of us can do all things in relation to your
contribution as if each of us were the sole owners, and if one of us
makes a derivative work of your contribution, the one who makes the
derivative work (or has it made) will be the sole owner of that
derivative work.
So yes Oracle has "owner equal" rights to the code (and demonstrates,
that they excercise that right (see OpenJDK)). In any case,
contributions also applied to the NetBeans core, so if Oracle now
wants
to pull the "OCA is a problem" card, the ball was already dropped.
Noone forced Oracle to use an OCA, that was and is a deliberate
choice.
So I'll reverse the question: How should it work, that all individual
contributors validate, that they own the code and how shall we
(NetBeans PMC) validate that? In this case relying on OCA and proper
procedure of contribution in the past are invaluable.
Greetings
