I'll try to help, but with the standard disclaimer that IANAL, so you need to be comfortable with the terms and conditions and grants that you are signing no matter what I tell you! > - SG & CCLA (http://www.apache.org/licenses/cla-corporate.txt ): > Signed by the CEO of ITC.

The list of designated employees on this form is an internal matter for you (essentially listing people who can contribute assets on behalf of the corporation). > - Bulk Contribution Checklist > (http://incubator.apache.org/harmony/bulk_contribution_checklist.txt): > > One for each package, signed by the team leader, and specifying > the list of developers (authors) You really only need one checklist per bulk contribution (which may be a set of packages); but no harm, just more paperwork! > - ICLA (http://www.apache.org/licenses/icla.txt): > One for each person designated as authorized contributor (or > should it be one for each author?) The Software Grant and checklist cover the bulk contribution, so ICLA's should be completed for people who will be making an ongoing contribution to the code. The ICLA works for contributors, the foundation, and code consumers to define the terms under which contributions are made to the project. > - ACQ (http://incubator.apache.org/harmony/auth_cont_quest.txt ): > One for each person designated as authorized contributor (or > should it be one for each author?) The bulk contribution checklist ensures that incoming code, created outside the day-to-day development of the project, has a traceable and acceptable IP provenance. If you can provide an ACQ for each of the original authors(*) and each ongoing contributor(+) that would be ideal. (*)otherwise see the bulk contribution checklist for details (+)otherwise they are probably out of luck, see the ACQ for details > Is this ok? where should we send this documents? To date these forms have been sent directly to Geir. I won't put his fax number out on the list -- I'll let him send it to you directly.
