Unable is a strong word. I given that we are talking about historically recent contributions, I would think that it would be possible to identify and reach out to those who made these contributions. These people, after all, DO hold the copyrights. In fact, these people can readily add themselves to the wiki right now and send in an ICLA and commit these changes themselves once the project arrives here; at which point the TDF has a clean base upon which to build. > S. - Sam Ruby --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
