The only thing we have consistently done for committer home directories is: 1) Don't have security issues (ie, world writable files) 2) Don't use of excessive space or resources. We don't require CLAs for content in committers home directories. There is no required license of content on http://people.apache.org/~username. When a projects is in Labs, even though there are not releases, we assume the person committing to it is licensing it to the ASF just like any other project under their CLAs -- and saying that they don't need to adhere to the same policies seems out of place. Labs projects have previously been accepted to the Incubator without any additional CLAs or other attempts to verify their IP, mostly because previously they have been held to the same policies as existing ASF projects in all other matters. Saying that they do not need to adhere to ASF policies because they don't have releases seems like a fundamental shift in what the Labs PMC was presumed to be doing, and at the very least other PMCs like the Incubator must understand this, if we really believe that Labs should only have the same restrictions as we have on home directories. -Paul --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
