There's recently been a case where the author of a codebase that he contributed to an Apache project didn't realize that the software grant implies the change of license headers (and thus the removal of his own Copyright (c) ... statements on individual files). This ended up in a rather messy situation and cost the project quite a lot of time and effort to resolve. The lessons learned have probably not yet reached the relevant documentation, but going forward it would probably be a good idea to ask the contributor to change the license headers (or at least explicitly approve the header change) already before the contributed code gets committed. Of course, it's not OK to do this before a software grant has been received/recorded/ack. And, of course, it's not OK to release this software before the IP clearance. Yep. The release point is the definite line where all the legal bits should be in order. BR, Jukka Zitting

Hi Jukka, Can you do these next steps to complete this? 1) whatever review you think is needed to confirm the ip-clearance form located here: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/uima/site/trunk/uima-website/xdocs/ip-clearances/alchemyapi-annotator.xml 2) Once you're satisfied, commit this file to the right place: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/public/trunk/site-author/ip-clearance 3) do the 72 hour lazy approval note to incubator - general, followed by the [RESULT] Thanks! -Marshall On 2/22/2010 3:03 AM, Tommaso Teofili wrote: Ok, thanks again Jukka.

The IP clearance record looks good, thanks Tommaso! Note that as it's usually better to wait until the IP clearance is complete before committing a new codebase to Apache svn, but it's no big problem that you already did so. BR, Jukka Zitting

Hi Marshall, I've fixed the points you mentioned, only I haven't put down the 3) since I'll ask Jukka first (sorry for not asking you first). I fixed point 4) putting a mail-archives.com link since I could read the previous link but you couldn't, is it ok? Cheers, Tommaso 2010/2/21 Marshall Schor m...@schor.com Hi, Some changes: 1) In the description, you might include a link to the Alchemy website when you mention it first. 2) Under Project Info - because we're still incubating (until we get voted out, first by the IPMC and next by the board, which might take another month), the PMC responsible should read something like: Apache UIMA (currently an Incubator project, so officially, the Incubator PMC) 3) Officer or member managing donation: I would put down Jukka Zitting (would be nice to ask him first of course :-) ) 4) in the Related Votes section, the link to the vote thread is broken (message is: The requested URL /mod_mbox/incubator-uima-dev/201001.mbox/ b917db631001290112r3f4332aflc29bec1c88d7e...@mail.gmail.com was not found on this server.)
