> Hi > What confuses me though is that we're worrying about git authors whereas I believe that if someone contributes a file without listing themselves as the authors in the header (for the BSD case), didn't the author concede rights over the code by doing so? > Without an ICLA (or an equivalent) this is not the case. Copyright automatically applies. They may not even own rights to the code they commit if their employment contract says otherwise. Thanks, Justin So @justinmclean is it safe we do the batch conversion if the source code meet all following critieria? 1.The source code isn't converted from SVN or CVS 2.All commiters(or his company) in git log sign ICLA or SGA 3.The copyright holder in the source code sign ICLA or SGA And I also have a queston: do we need the contributor to sign ICLA if he/she just modify a small portion of code(e.g. ~10 lines)? The quantity number is important to write an automation tools . ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
