For the sake of the Couch guys, is it possible to separate this out into a separate thread? It seems that there are some valid concerns here about that process, but we should let Couch get on with the process as it is, and concurrently improve it for the future in a different thread? Dennis - are

Just testing my own knowledge of this stuff: A) isn't it true that if you are not the copyright holder or agent of the copyright holder, you need some sort of paper or email trail giving you permission to move copyrights? B) isn't it true that there are cases where the copyright stays in the file

Part of the process was to get a signed release from Cloudant (Adam Kocoloski, also a CouchDB PMC member), I think that covers the legal bits. All I've done is make the headers in the contribution the same as those in core couchdb (the short ASLv2 bit and no 'Copyright Cloudant' line). B. On 26

Thanks for the clarification Dennis. I'll toss this on a list of things to circle back to at some point. If someone wants to split of a separate thread about it right now, be my guest. On 26 June 2013 20:22, Dennis E. Hamilton wrote: > I don't think I've seen the template before, or it was too

I don't think I've seen the template before, or it was too long ago and I failed to notice at the time. Noah has explained my concern and added discussion on remedies. (I won't be creating a JIRA issue and it appears that others have a better sense of what would express what is appropriate. I

Ah, I see what you are saying. I believe this might just be some unfortunate wording in the IP Clearance template. This: "Check and make sure that the files that have been donated have been updated to reflect the new ASF copyright." Might be better worded as: "Check and make sure that the file

Actually, my rewording is still not quite right, because it implies that the copyright holders of work going through IP Clearance should expect their copyright statements to be moved to NOTICE. This would actually be very unusual, in much the same way as it would be unusual for me (as a committer o

Dennis, I'm following the instructions I'm given, I don't know if this is the place to comment on the process the incubator project has been following up to this point. Have I followed it incorrectly? I don't know you personally, are you pointing out problems with *this* ip clearance thread in par

Dennis, can you clarify your concerns please? The page you are looking at is generated from a template. Bob has simply filled in the dates as he stepped through the process. Which specific guidelines do you not believe have been followed? Why do you believe that an SGA has not been filed? On 2

That page talks about transfer of copyright and addition of Apache copyright notices on the code as imported. Huh? Why aren't the guidelines for transfer of cleaned-up contributions under SGAs being followed, and an SGA being filed that details the contribution? - Dennis -Original Messag
