it's the not the software grant form i was talking about: the incubator has it's own form which needs to be filled in and committed into subversion before the incubator pmc will sign off the grant. see http://incubator.apache.org/ip-clearance/index.html. the software grant form needs to be filled in by the donator and ack'd by an officer (ideally jim). the incubator form needs to be filled in by either an officer or a member and committed into subversion. - robert
