Deleted this section, thank you
search for "if applicable"
Using the search available here ( http://www.uspto.gov/main/
trademarks.htm ) I found nothing which looks infringing. There are a
number of wombat trademarks around, but the only one related to
software is marked DEAD. The closest live one is for some folks who
make keyboards.
search for "Check and make sure"
All of these have been checked, made sure, and appropriately dated.
search for "Identify name recorded for software grant: the name of
the grant as record[sic]"
Good catch, thank you.
search for "For individuals, use the name as recorded on the
committers page"
Prior to import it has only been available under the Apache License,
Version 2.0. As such, everyone not in violation of that license has
distribution rights.
If the incubator is to perform due diligence, there's not much on
which to perform "diligence" here.
Huh? There are four code grants, one from each person who has
contributed code. There are four CLA's, one from each person who has
contributed code. There is verification of the information I asserted
in the template. There is also the two spots in the template I missed
filling in which you caught -- who has distribution rights and the
name of the project used in grants.txt.
I might be missing the point of the template, but I guess the
sections above are supposed to be replaced with actual names,
actions taken, file locations, references to email threads, etc.
I have checked in the updates to cover these points, but I have not
redeployed the inubator site, For your convenience I have included
the diff of the changes below.
Thank You!
