Thanks for the clarity, David. Given the clear "commit trail" for individual committers and the ICLAs I don't see a problem there. I think the only question that may need a bit more clarity is the relationship of Dremio to the contributions. I know my own employer has boilerplate legal claims on any open source work I do using company equipment or during "working hours" but there is also a process to allow/approve contributions.
Can you elaborate on any corporate relationship to the contributions and if there is a process for open source contributions, particularly if the contributors used corporate computers or labor, and whether this is addressed in the CCLA?

(Apologies if this does not get linked back up correctly to the thread - Pony Mail does not let me login and the mailto: link generates a URL which is too long). I did preemptively ask the contributors to add the Apache license boilerplate before final submission, so apologies for the confusion there. The original files as I recall either had the header or did not have any header. There was a short discussion on the Arrow dev@ list at [1] where we decided to go through the IP clearance process to make sure everything was clear, since when the PR was first submitted, it had been developed for a long time outside the community (with commits dating back to 2020, although the PR was submitted in 2022). I believe Abner submitted an ICLA. I will re-confirm with the authors (I can't appear to view this information myself on the Apache side).
