IIRC, the main thing that matters is that all incoming code that was developed
outside the ASF gets cleared. For podlings, there is frequently one big code
donation that eventually gets turned into a release. The podling gets to put
the code in a repo and then clear it. I believe that's mainly to help get the
community going with the least delay. Podlings often do that one release and
then graduate to TLP.
But once you have clean code in your repo, before you mix a bunch of other code
into it, it is advised to clear it before mixing that code. The IP Clearance
process is the main way to do that and the Incubator is the central log of
these big donations being cleared.
I don't think Weex had to go through IP Clearance if the mentors felt they
could inspect and clear the code, but it doesn't hurt to ask for more eyes on
it.
At least, that's how I remember it from my podling days. Flex received several
donations before and after graduation.
My 2 cents,

Hi
As a PPMC member of Weex, I didn’t find any documentation about the IP
clearance process for Podlling project, so I just followed what other PPMC
did after asking in this mailing list [4]. I am Ok to do it in another way
if it’s written in the documentation clearly.
IMO, the problem here is that we don’t have an IP clearance process for
podllings, so podllings have no other way but follow the standard IP
process of TLP project.
