I'm looking at some logistics and have been following what I see other
ASF projects doing. Are the steps below good for a general list of tasks
to cover when bringing in code?
1) Upload the code to a new Jira issue.
2) Fax the software grant form to the ASF secretary.
3) Call a vote on the dev list to accept the contribution.
4) Fill in the IP clearance template and add it to the Incubator repo.
5) Announce the contribution to the Incubator PMC. If no issues are
raised in 72 hours, then the code can be checked into the code repo.
looks good to me
Now, step 2 (software grant) actually has two options:
- CCLA Schedule B (http://www.apache.org/licenses/cla-corporate.txt)
- Software grant (http://www.apache.org/licenses/software-grant.txt)
Does it matter which option is used? Is the rest of the process the same
for both?
AIUI it depends on the nature of the grant
the software grant is the basic document
however, if a corporation wants to donate code and wants to continue
to develop the code at apache then it's more convenient to use the
CCLA (filling in the relevant section).
