Note that the ICLA only covers "Contributions submitted to the Foundation". So if you're accepting contributions for something else than a project of the ASF, having an ICLA on file at the ASF doesn't enter into the picture. For example, if I now chose to contribute something to http://jszip.org/, that contribution would be covered by Section 5 of ALv2 (as described in http://jszip.org/license.html) unless otherwise specified. The fact that I also happen to have an ICLA on file with the ASF doesn't affect the licensing picture between me and jszip. If the code were to be later brought over to the ASF, I'd either need to explicitly OK my contributions to be under the terms of my existing ICLA or they should be treated as any other ALv2-licensed third party code. Of course in practice that distinction is mostly insignificant as long as we're talking about ALv2 code and not some other license. > since my eventual intent is to bring this project into the ASF > (once I have sufficient community to bring it in that is! ;-) ) Community size and activity are only exit, not entry criteria for incubating projects. In fact one of the purposes of the Incubator is to help new projects grow. So welcome to enter any time you like! :-) BR, Jukka Zitting --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
