Todd and the initial contributors list of this proposal are who came to me and the other mentors and who approached to bring this project to Apache. If there are other folks who have contributed to the project prior to Apache, good for them and if they want to be part of the community that’s between them and quite honestly Todd and the initial contributors. There is no requirement to include them on this proposal. If they have code contributions part of this code base, that they don’t want included, they can state that. It was my understanding this code base was Apache License, version 2, beforehand, thus we have the ability to include and modify their code as part of an ALv2 licensed code base, that is being brought to the ASF. Community wise and regardless of the license, if someone who contributed prior wasn’t included in this proposal and wanted their code removed, I would assume Todd and the members of the initial PPMC would honor their wishes since we only want code that wants to be included in this project. Recall also - we are forming a community here - which is a set of people that can and desire to work together. > >Hopefully, the third time to clarify my initial point would be a charm ;) Clarified. That said, see above and my own point.
