Eberhard/all, I just say, they are both committers to DeviceMap and involved with OpenDDR, but that does not mean either of them are the comitters to the changes in OpenDDR Resources.
The license for these files is stated to be OdBL ( http://opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/1.0/) while there are 2 misleading lisense files in GitHub, but AFAIK these came from the template and should be replaced by the right one (I created a bug ticket on GitHub for that) The owner on GitHub makes it easier to a) avoid sabotage by e.g. people and companies wishing to damage OpenDDR (we know who[?]) and allows those with legitimate access to share this user if necessary, but unless any of the commits are tied to e.g. a GitHub issue ticket (that's possible, but not practiced) or similar it is not easy to identify an entire commit or individual changes within that change and tie it to a user's contribution. Using Gerrit would be another option, large open source projects and communities like Eclipse do that, and their IP tracking exceeds even that of Apache by far[?] Unless the initial source of the change in GitHub can't participate even if we had a Gerrit-like system at DeviceMap, I'm afraid 1) is not easy to accomplish by either of us 3, too. About 2) hope, Bertrand or Apache legal folks may have an easy answer to that. I am not a lawyer despite often involved in license-related talks and discussions especially in the JCP. If OdBL and Apache License are compatible in the sense, that you could fork it and modify/derive the content including under a different license? Werner
