During the due dilligence process for Wookie one of the named initial committers refused to sign the iCLA. Upon investigation it emerged that the author was not sure of the provenance of some of his commits.
I have no concerns about the code being brought into the ASF as the questionable code has been removed or rewritten (see quote from Scott below), but since this person is not signing a iCLA it means I need to remove him from the Wookie proposal. This will leave two initial committers both of whom have filed iCLAs. I assume that there is no need to call a new vote on acceptance of Wookie, and will proceed regardless. However, if someone has a concern please raise it. Ross PS re removal of questionable code Scott Wilson says: "With his cooperation I've now removed all his code from the project, and replaced it with new code I've written (and where this is derived from public examples/how-tos, noted this in comments). This wasn't a big job; most of the code wasn't actually called by the current codebase and could be safely removed without being replaced." -- Ross Gardler OSS Watch - supporting open source in education and research http://www.oss-watch.ac.uk --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
