I think we just need to create a jira issue where we list those donations, and I can then check in the foundation's documents that the corresponding grants are present, and add that info to the jira issue. If you agree, can you create that issue and provide the basic information? > If I understand the goal of the document, it is to guarantee correct license > and copyright handling before code goes into an Apache repository.

AIUI the main goal of the software grant ( http://www.apache.org/licenses/software-grant.txt ) is for Apache Flex to demonstrate that it checked that whoever donated code actually was authorized to do so, and to have a record of the granted license. We don't expect code donations to be ready to release, as you say it's the podling's job to add license headers, NOTICE files etc. > ...Could we argue that releasing got us to a correct place legally and now we > only need to prove out the correctness for donations 3, 5, 6, and 7?... IMO we just need to provide evidence that donations were handled as they should, so covered by software grants. > ...How do we resolve the MD5 issue for things we checked in directly, > especially if the net commit of some of those files were updates to > previously donated files?... svn revision numbers of the corresponding commits are fine, if someone wants to see the details they can look at the diffs of those commits. > How do we provide links to the grants? The grants are in a private area in the foundation's svn, so we cannot provide links. Filenames are sufficient for people to be able to find the grants if they want. I can add those if you create the jira issue and add the list of grants with md5s or svn revision numbers and donation dates or mail archive links. Thanks! -Bertrand
