Because who ever explain the concept of a code grant to them did't explain what it means correctly. The authors want attribution (as per the AL) in the NOTICE file. A code grant gives the ASF permission to treat the code as our own with no attribution. A code grant: - isn't necessary - doesn't give us any more proetction that the AL header already does - is inconsistent with the wishes of the original authors Mark --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
