The initial code was based on Apache Nutch so all the IP were cleared there. The modification that have been done by myself are all done as ASF committer. There have been code adopted from Henri Yandell patch to HttpComponents which as well had been cleared by himself as ASF committer. The second version was a rewrite from various ASF committer or based on patch submission where we have a software grant. IMOH there are (and never have been) no issues about IP clearance but ATM AFAIK there is no-one actively pursuing the matter. Any help highly appreciated. Thanks for bringing this up Doug/Board. salu2 > > Bernd > > On Thu, Feb 18, 2010 at 03:23, Grant Ingersoll <gsing...@apache.org> wrote: > > I'm not involved anymore, but that strikes me as really weird given that > > Droids started in Labs and was wholly developed there before going to > > Incubator. > > > > On Feb 17, 2010, at 4:33 PM, Doug Cutting wrote: > > > >> Incubator PMC, > >> > >> On reading this month's report to the Board from the Incubator, the Board > >> was curious what, if anything, is blocking Droid's IP clearance process > >> and requested that I look into this.
