It was pointed out on legal-discuss@ that the IP Clearance terms in http://incubator.apache.org/ip-clearance/ip-clearance-template.html are odd. Namely the two items:
----------- * Check and make sure that for all items included with the distribution that is not under the Apache license, we have the right to combine with Apache-licensed code and redistribute. * Check and make sure that all items depended upon by the project is covered by one or more of the following approved licenses: Apache, BSD, Artistic, MIT/X, MIT/W3C, MPL 1.1, or something with essentially the same terms. ------------ It's odd to call out the licenses specifically (with MPL 1.1 seeming a little odd-one-out), and the two lines are (in spirit) saying the same thing. What do folk think to replacing both with: * Check and make sure that all items depended upon by the project are compatible with the license guidance given here: http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html Thanks, Hen
