Hi, In the vote thread about [1] a question came up about the following clause, from our IP clearance form:
> Check and make sure that the files that have been donated have been > updated to reflect the new ASF copyright. I think this actually covers two distinct things: 1) Moving any existing non-Apache copyright notices to a NOTICE file, if the owner of the donated code wants that, or otherwise removing them or making them smaller to avoid bloating the code with multiple copyright notices., if possible. All done by whoever donates the code - as per the "Should a project move non-ASF copyright notices from Apache source files to the NOTICE file?" section in [2], we don't want to that ourselves. 2) Adding Apache copyright/license headers where required IMO there's no need for 2) to happen before the donation, that just has to happen before the first release of that code. Do people agree? Shall we reformulate that requirement to better express that it's only 1) that's relevant before accepting the donated code? -Bertrand [1] http://incubator.apache.org/ip-clearance/sling-sightly-xss.html [2] http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
