yes, they will. Already kind of an agreement about that on [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Great, then it's just paperwork now.

The process at http://incubator.apache.org/ip-clearance/index.html seems to fit the need here. There is a minimum of "e-paperwork" to do: just requires
the myfaces PMC to request and the Incubator PMC to accept it.

Hi,

I wouldn't call it "legal issue". It's more a question what to do with
the contribution,
since it was developed "offline".

I personally think that a software grant for this offer should be fine.
Main reason is, that the original author is already part of the
myfaces community.

Hello everyone, since the discussion on the myfaces devs list has pointed
me
towards here a legal question.
I developed in my working time which I can dedicate to opensource
software a
significant library, licensed under ASF 2.0 license.
It is an extension library to the myfaces tomahawk library.
Every single line of code of that lib is currently written by me.
I have committer rights to myfaces.

The main issue is, that the library itself probably will end up as
separate
myfaces subproject.

The main issue is, is any incubation needed, or can the code just be
merged
in. Or does a ip clearance/software grant has to be performed upfront.
The
code was developed outside of the myfaces repo, but the coderights, and
licensing issues are in the clear!


Kind regards

Werner Punz
