This caught my attention because Lucene.Net's external code base started off as ASL. I'm one of the Cayenne mentors, and Cayenne's code base is also under the ASL. I'm frankly not certain what all is involved in the ip clearance process for code that is already under the ASL. It seems there are several ways, at least, to bring in code: 1) If an external code base is already under the ASL, the podling can simply go ahead and import the code. Does the remaining ip loop to close involve filling out the ip clearance template at http://incubator.apache.org/ip-clearance/index.html ? This is counter intuitive to me because that page says "This form is not for new projects." 2) If a code base is owned by a corporate entity, it can be donated via http://www.apache.org/licenses/software-grant.txt . 3) Smaller external contributions can be made via the ip clearance template at http://incubator.apache.org/ip-clearance/index.html . Is this correct? I'm finding this part of the process puzzling, and I'm not finding what I'm looking for in the incubator site docs. But if people will explain it or point to specific podlings that sparked discussions so I can find them in the archives, I'll assemble more info for the incubator docs. thanks, -jean --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
