Hi PJ, This is true.
> possibly iCLAs from the EasyExcel contributors All active EasyExcel contributors are contributing to EasyXL (FastExcel) and thus included in the initial committers. So we'll get their iCLAs :D > look at getting an SGA from Alibaba This is possible. The proposed PPMC would try to get one. However, please note that EasyExcel is already licensed under ALv2 and it's unmaintained. So I'd consider an SGA from Alibaba a good supplement but not a requirement. Best, tison.
