Apache committers submit ICLAs (Individual contributor licenses agreements) [1] these are different from software grants. An ICLA doesn’t require you boss/legal to sign, SGAs (software grant agreement) do. Your company may also want to submit a CCLA but that’s up to them. An ICLA states that you give the ASF rights to use and distribute your code (and not others) at no cost forever. It covers copyright and patents and that you are legally able to do this and you employee is OK with this. (In some cases your employment contract may prohibit you from doing this.) For small contributions an ICLA is all we need. An SGA is used to donate an sizeable amount of existing code Thanks, Justin 1. https://www.apache.org/licenses/contributor-agreements.html
