Dear Kafka development team,
First of all thank you for all your efforts on Kafka. We are considering
using Kafka in our software.
In order to do so, we need your help to understand the processes in place to
manage Intellectual Property, code ownership, and provenance in this project.
Can you please answer the following questions:
1. What is the process to make someone a committer to this project, with
the ability to checkin code to this project? Does the person have to agree to a
certain terms of use? If so please point me to the terms of use document.
2. Did all the people who contributed code agree to contribute code under
the existing license?
3. Outside the committers, how are code contributions from the community
accepted? Do external code contributors have to accept the same terms as above,
before their code is integrated into the project?
4. Does anyone else have rights to the code that has been contributed to
this project?
Thank you in advance.
