Hi, IP clearance usually works by lazy consensus, but in this case I'd like an explicit vote, as the donation described at [0] includes data that when hosted on Github has caused a DMCA takedown request [1] to which OpenDDR responded [2].
I guess from our point of view the decision is whether the donation of that data can be considered voluntary, as the ownership of the original data is somewhat unclear. The header of the original data file [2] states that "the information listed here has been collected by many different people from many different countries", but in [1] a copyright on that data is asserted. The code parts of the OpenDDR donation are not affected, so I'd like Incubator PMC members to vote as follows: [ ] +1, accept the OpenDDR donation including the OpenDDR-Resources_1.0.0.10.zip data [ ] -1, do not accept the OpenDDR-Resources_1.0.0.10.zip (but the other parts are ok) IMO the alternative, if we don't accept the resources part of the donation, is to ask OpenDDR to come up with a resources file that contains only their own original work. The vote is open for at least 72 hours (will leave it open a bit more due to TGIF). -Bertrand (DeviceMap mentor) [0] http://incubator.apache.org/ip-clearance/devicemap-openddr.html [1] https://github.com/github/dmca/blob/master/2012-01-04-scientiamobile.markdown [2] http://openddr.org/takedown.html (looks down right now, Google cache at http://s.apache.org/openddr_cache just in case) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
