The following projects haven't signed off on the copyright checklist
item:
2009-02-09 kato
2009-02-13 stonehenge
2009-05-13 socialsite
2010-05-19 amber
2010-09-05 nuvem
2010-11-12 kitty
2010-11-24 stanbol
2011-06-13 openofficeorg
Said checklist item is:
"Check and make sure that the papers that transfer rights to the ASF
been received. It is only necessary to transfer rights for the
package, the core code, and any new code produced by the project. "
How long do we host software without explicitly stating we have these
rights?
Personally I think 1 year is more than enough, even for OpenOffice.
Our practice has been to not check in code until after an SGA has been
received, e.g., the main OOo contribution from Oracle, the Symphony
contribution from IBM and the UOF 2.0 contribution from CS2C.
So I assume we just need to fill in a date here in the "copyright"
section:
http://incubator.apache.org/projects/openofficeorg.html
But what date? The first SGA? The most recent SGA? This is an
ongoing effort, for any living project that gets ongoing contributions
of existing corporate code. I expect it will continue as a TLP as
well.
When we put in the first and the most recent date, maybe someone from the
Apache officials can tell which is *the* date. Otherwise we hit it anyway.
I've updated the page using the date of the 2nd SGA from Oracle:
2011-10-21. That was the basis for our 3.4 release.
I like the idea of listing all of the SGA's, but this page is
processed to produce some roll-up reports, and I don't know if the
automation will choke if we get too fancy with the inputs. So I'm
listing only that one date for now.
Ah, right. I remember dimly the big overview page which gets its data
out of the projects status pages. So the latest SGA date is maybe really
the best one.
