I think it may not be completely clear to everyone yet why this code does not have to follow the IP clearance process as described at: http://incubator.apache.org/ip-clearance/
From that link it doesn't seem completely clear when you need to follow the
IP clearance process or when a code attached to a JIRA can be treated just as any other patch from a community member. Is the question whether or not these two classes "represents a substantial contribution"? ...ant On 3/21/07, Frank Budinsky <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

The big one is that we can't release this code until this resolved. -- Jeremy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
