We have the following outstanding issue that I will be talking to the

we change our default license for mail list contributions to a

I doubt this should be discussed with the Incubator PMC in
isolation and I
think a wider audience is wiser.
Clearly. But we'll start on general@ incubator, and if we need to go
elswhere, we do.
legal-discuss@, members@ and board@ is definately going to be very
interested
in this.
"default license for mail list contributions" is also a term new to
*me*. Care
to explain what that means??
Sure - every mail list at the ASF has been understood to be under the
Apache License for contributions, and if you choose to submit
something to a mail list that isn't intended for people to use, you
mark it as "NOT A CONTRIBUTION".
Without this, no one could take anything from mail lists and use in
projects because they wouldn't have been contributed under a license
we accept.
I just simply made the policy explicit. I believe every list here
should do it, and once we get some issues out of the way, I'll
propose to the greater ASF.
