Short answer is that I am not totally sure - I just saw that there were clearly other sources for the code other than the two parties mentioned and so I thought that should be highlighted in the IP Clearance section. The question, AIUI, isn't about the license of the code being patched, it's the granting of the code in the patch itself. We ask contributors to either submit an ICLA or check the "Grant for inclusion..." checkbox in JIRA. I don't have a lot of Incubator experience so I'll defer on this one, it just caught my eye - my own understanding is that contributors would need to be tracked down[1]. --tim [1] - http://incubator.apache.org/guides/mentor.html#initial-ip-clearance > On Mon, Aug 30, 2010 at 11:26 AM, Tim Williams <william...@gmail.com> wrote: >> On Tue, Aug 24, 2010 at 1:12 PM, Dan Haywood <dkhayw...@gmail.com> wrote: >>> I'd like to formally propose a new project for the incubator, Apache Isis. >> >> ... snipped.... >> >>> == Source and IP Submission Plan == >>> As mentioned earlier, the NO framework is ASLv2 but copyright belongs to >>> Naked Objects Group Ltd.
