me if I'm mistaken.
Is there some kind of minimal HOWTO for our IP clearance process? If
not, as a community we should collaborate to make one, preferably a
simple document that explains how to use the tool and basic steps.
That should be integrated into the documentation so that new

IP clearance is a little different to licensing, IP clearance is c
tant, otherwise we tend to aggravate the problem by just adding more files
with BSD headers and get lost on how far or near we are to satisfy IP clearance
requirement.

Hi,

If you want it to be ALv2 then it is best to:
a) Ask the author to relicense it to ALv2
b) Ask them to sign an ICLA (assuming they are the copyright owner not their
employer. In most cases it will be their employer.)

Depends on a few things:

I've created the following issue to remind ourselves of this:

do it on their own. However, distributing the load
to every PR
author to adapt files they touch is a good way to make fair distribution of the
load.
I think for IP clearance a CI check could be added by using the scripts I made:
each file touched
by a PR could be checked to see if it can be
I do not think there is zero progress as at least I’ve signed a SGA to
change all the files from Xiaomi to Apache License.
Zero files have been officially cleared. That allowed us to change the
Xiaomi/Pinecone copyrighted headers to Apache headers, but we still have
no idea who all contribut
to drive the project
forward.
Thanks.

For some context most project graduate at 1 1/2 t 2 years, but some
take longer, it just depends on the project. The IP clearance is
important and you would need to show progress on this before you
could graduate.
Well, I believe that we would be in the worst case in this because

Well, we are over 10 months pushing 11 months as an Apache podling. In
my assessment, we have made zero progress on IP clearance. I am
certainly appreciative of the tool-related work of Adam Feurer and
Matias N. They have certainly assured that we have proper tool support
to do the job

We have talked a little about IP clearance on the NuttX podling project
but I am not sure if anyone really appreciates the magnitude of this
effort: There is 13 years of commits, possibly 50,000 total commits,
many hundreds of contributors, 1000's of files, 1.5 million lines of
code
