It is the responsibility of the committer to get a CCLA signed by their
employer if they are being paid for the work being done or have a clause
in their employment contract that give ownership to the employer of all
of the work that they do during their term of employment.
This is impossible
CCLAs are completely optional - and no one (AFAIK) checks the employer
of new committers as a general rule. (Plus, employers change)
ICLAs are required for committers - and they explicitly say among
other things that you won't commit things for which the ASF wouldn't
have the right to redistribute
Ron,
As part of committer on-boarding, the PMC requires each committer candidate
have an ASF ICLA in place and verifies the CCLA of their employer.
Thanks,

You are right.
The paragraph that I quoted from Apache is pretty clear about that.
They do recommend getting ICLAs from everyone but as you said, it is not
required.
The CCLA is important and I would hope that the main corporate
supporters are all covered.

All,
I believe Pierre-Luc’s explanation is correct, and that we may have slightly
different definitions of contributor and committer. Generally, we define a
contributor, we are referring to anyone (committer, PMC member, any person in
the world) who contributes code, documentation, etc to the
Hi Ron,
As far as I know, ICLA and CCLA is required for commiters, but not required
for non-commiters contributors. I don't know about all details, someone
else in the ML might have more details about this. For sure, you can be a
contributor without submitting code as a anyone in this ML is consid
As part of a discussion during last weeks meeting in Mpntreal, the
question was raised about the requirement to have an Individual
Contributor License Agreement (ICLA) for each contributor.
