i'm trying to pull together some best practice documentation for the initial code import. i'm going to throw some (quite possibly incoherent) opinions out there to start discussion but if anyone has opinions feel free to ignore the strawman...
IMO the original sources covered by the appropriate agreement should be available as part of the public record of the project. JIRA most likely covers this. checking in the unconverted code most definitely covers this (where? into a stage/inport directory? into position?). it is better to convert the originals outside and commit only cleaned up code to the repository? (this has the advantage that uncleaned code is not committed to the code stream). useful tools for relicensing (i know about those in committers)? - robert
