I agree with Bertrand. Note whoever commits the patch is doing so under their ICLA. In other words if someone feels it does not contain significant IP then they can commit.
Paperwork is a barrier to entry which is simply not necessary for trivial contributions.

That's my understanding, requiring an iCLA for minor contributions is not needed. What's important for all contributions IMO is to have documented evidence (dev list, jira, bugzilla) that the contribution is voluntary, and to indicate when committing where the contribution comes from. -Bertrand --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
