How has the refactoring due to an expected contributor's unwillingness to sign an ICLA effected the project? This issue makes me think that the main purpose of going through the incubator was to inoculate the project's IP, not that there is anything wrong with that. If it is true that the IP is correct is there any reason for the Incubator not to transfer the EasyAnt project to the Ant PMC? Does that make sense? Note I used the term "transfer" to recognize a different situation or standard from "graduation to a TLP". Somehow the IPMC would need to certify the IP in the podling and then the target PMC would have to accept the podling. VOTEs: (1) PPMC - if it can. (2) Target PMC - to confirm that it wants the podling's IP. (3) IPMC - to confirm IP and transfer. (4) Board - do the bylaws require a fourth vote? Just a thought.
