John, we have an ICLA for Jessica now.
However, Intel is maintaining the position that it shouldn't be required to identify the software granted in detail but rather stating the top-level project it is granted to should be sufficient. Furthermore, they argue that they have done that many times over the years and only used the project level in Schedule B. Personally (IANAL), I think we should be good as the size of the donation isn't that big, Intel claims the copyright and has clearly green lighted Jessica to contribute in their name to Felix (and we have an ICLA as well) - hence: Are you willing to withdraw your veto based on the ICLA and the given CCLA? Otherwise, I guess I'll go and ask legal to see if they can clear this up. regards, Karl On Thu, Dec 14, 2017 at 2:41 PM, Karl Pauls <karlpa...@gmail.com> wrote: > John, > > yeah, I see that the schedule B is somewhat lacking.
