If that code was all that poster's original work, not previously published elsewhere (particularly under a different license), then that's fine. If that code was previously developed elsewhere, had multiple contributors, and made available (particularly under a different license), then no. I'll also note that the goal of IP Clearance isn't to disallow such contributions, it is merely to make sure that we capture all of the relevant history (IP provenance) for posterity. > Would github PR's fall under the same premise, since the contents of those > mails become public record?
