Shazron Abdullah created CB-11916: ------------------------------------- Summary: Drop requirement for an iCLA for contributions Key: CB-11916 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-11916 Project: Apache Cordova Issue Type: Task Components: Docs Reporter: Shazron Abdullah Assignee: Shazron Abdullah
Discussion here: https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/b611fb3b913ff115b07169f26e4ee8e86094ac444d38683e8769f901@%3Cdev.cordova.apache.org%3E Consensus achieved. Proceeding with PR. Repro'ed here: {code} It's up to us to decide, and right now we require the iCLA except for trivial contributions. I want to change this to a more relaxed requirement: 1. Non-committers do not require an iCLA (you need one anyway to get an account, so that's really a non-issue) 2. Require a clear intent by the author to contribute under our normal terms, for a non-trivial change So some of you will be wondering, what does Apache say about this? From: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/www-infrastructure-dev/201112.mbox/%3ca603ffce-623b-43e9-87f8-39baa51c7...@gbiv.com%3E Roy Fielding: "Yes, that opinion comes from me speaking as a board member and author of the Apache License, and has previously been cleared with Apache's legal team for a long ago discussion with Incubator. We don't need a CLA on file to accept contributions from non-committers. We just need a clear intent by the author to contribute under our normal terms." Other opinions: http://apetro.ghost.io/apache-contributors-no-cla/ We need to change our Contribute page: http://cordova.apache.org/contribute/ ... as well as any PR templates: https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-media/blob/master/.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md This declaration of intent, if posted on Github, will be reflected on d...@cordova.apache.org since Apache sends out an email on each PR or comment to a PR, so we will be able to track it in our archives. As usual it is always the committer's responsibility to make sure that all code they push to a repository is compliant with ASF policies. {code} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@cordova.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@cordova.apache.org
