PDFBOX-1492 Grant ASF license
Hi, as part of PDFBOX-1492 I added a small patch to extract the XFA from a pdf form. Unfortunately I can't find the button/checkbox … to grant ASF license. Would someone know how to do it? With kind regards Maruan Sahyoun

If it is a substantial contribution, e.g. a bunch of new classes or a rewrite of a part of the software, we will ask the contributor to sign a CLA. Best regards, Timo BR Andreas Lehmkühler
