Both Swiz and AS3Commons were originally hosted on Google Code and Apache License was clearly stated there[1][2]. So I don’t think there’s any question about the license. Like you said, it’s not likely anyone that contributed even if they don’t understand licenses (not very likely) will care. I think it unlikely that code was taken from elsewhere
Getting an ICLA from all contributors is just about impossible. So the question is can the donation of the one contact we do have suffice in this case, or do we need to leave the code. The commit history of both projects is still available on Google Code, so it should be possible to go through that if it would help. (Of course a3commons had close to 2000 commits so that’s going to be a lot of work…) Harbs [1]https://code.google.com/p/as3-commons/ [2]https://code.google.com/p/swizframework/ On Nov 28, 2015, at 7:57 PM, Ted Dunning <ted.dunn...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Alex > > The question is whether the claim that the code is actually under ASL is > correct.
