My sense from reading this thread is that it was a 'work-for-hire' and that the contributors are not owners. Otherwise, why have they been bothering to talk to Walmart Labs? Why is a company (as opposed to project or indivudal(s)) listed as the copyright holder in source code?
The copyright headers identify Takari Inc as the copyright holder/owner, which from this thread seems to have been acquired by Walmart Labs? --David On Mon, Feb 3, 2020 at 11:01 PM Brian Fox <bri...@infinity.nu> wrote: > > I think what Robert is highlighting was that collectively, the > contributors are still owners and have granted permission to use > another license. > > On Mon, Feb 3, 2020 at 4:59 PM David Nalley <da...@gnsa.us> wrote: > > > > On Mon, Feb 3, 2020 at 9:27 PM Justin Mclean <jus...@classsoftware.com> > > wrote: > > > > > > HI, > > > > > > I agree with what John wrote, part of the code is EPL which is not > > > compatible with the ALv2, you need the owner permission to change the > > > license on that.. > > > > > > My understanding of "Let me try to get in contact with Walmart Labs to > > > get an SGA for the Takari Maven Wrapper.” was that the next step would be > > > an SGA. > > > > > > > I agree with Justin. > > > > The lack of an SGA makes this ineligible for the normal lazy consensus > > route. > > The fact that 1 of the chunks of code you're looking at is licensed > > under the EPL is a further blocker.
