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?

    Hello,

    Sorry for some of the confusion here, I'll try to explain. (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).

    Hopefully this helps,
    David
