At the Apache Software Foundation, all contributions are entirely voluntary. We do not seek commitments. What we have today is a standard software grant. That grant contains a list of files. You've seen the list of files. We know this list to be incomplete. Employees of Oracle are participating in the incubation. Those that do will be expected to sign the ICLA which requires them to determine if a CCLA is required and to obtain that too. I will simply state again that it is my expectation that if we make reasonable requests and that if those requests are within Oracle's power to fulfill those requests, that we will obtain subsequent software grants. I will add that I won't be the one determining what files to request, that would be the incubating podling should it be set up. I will certainly help make any such requests end up with a positive outcome for all concerned. - Sam Ruby --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
