Hi, Justin,
Where do you currently place releases? Your release process is likely to need
to change as at the ASF releases are made by the (P)PMC voting on them, and in
the case of incubating projects the IPMC voting on them before they can be
released.
Yes, I have been following general@incubator.apache.org for a week or so
now so I can see there there are differences. The releases I did were
still a substantial amount of work. I did releases once every two
months. Most of the work was developing readable, functional
descriptions of changes from GIT history. The project is very active.
In a 2-3 month time period, there will be 1000-3000 commits so that is a
huge effort.
The releases were less formal but still very strict. The (old) releases
were tags in the the repositories. I kept the ReleaseNotes and tarballs
on on both SourceForge (which NuttX originally started) and on Bitbucket
at: https://sourceforge.net/projects/nuttx/files/nuttx/ and
https://bitbucket.org/nuttx/nuttx/downloads/. I kept only the latest
releases online.
There are a few, very old 4-clause BSD files in the C library (leveraged from
old, old BSD C library files).
Given the University of California, Berkeley rescinded the 4 clause BSD
licenses these files should be OK. [5] I’ll see if I can track down the Apache
Mynewt discussion about that.
Then we should be in good shape.
It also occurs to me that that there are a few non-standard BSD licenses
from silicon vendors. They have four clauses, the standard three plus
one that states that the code can only be used on the vendor's silicon.
For me that is not an issue because the code is hardware specific and
applies only to the vendor's silicon anyway. So it states only the
obvious. But I should mention that too.
Given you have compatible licenses what was the issue? Just the perceived
complexity of the ALv2 license you mentioned or another issue? Mynewt had some
quite complex licensing issues to sort out that required a number of different
approaches, but is a good example of what can be done.
Probably my lack of understanding of Apache license at the time.
