Because of the license and it’s a small amount of code, it's regarded at

"something like this" you mean because of the license or because of the small
number of files? If the latter, my question is always "what is big enough?". So
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.)
c)

Depends on a few things:
- Do you want to relicense as A
Hi,
I was about to edit a file and saw it was BSD licensed with Copyright to
company and author which does not to appear to be an active commiter. What is
the procedure to start asking for ICLAs/SGAs? Should I just email the author?
Relative to this is something I was thinking recently: shouldn'
The scripts are still in a draft PR, they were not merged. I was waiting for
confirmation for others to test.
The remaining issue was about the ability to deal with files in submodules.
Right now it just errors out.
I will see I can add an option that could help with this or if the old
submodule

Hi,
I think that for any non-coding/boring task the best bet (barring a paid
employee)
is to crowdsource the effort. You could compare this to the task of enforcing
code style:
it would be a huge task to convert all NuttX files to follow the code style and
most likely
no one would ever offer to
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
I do not think there is zero progress as at least I’ve signed a SGA to

For the work on cleaning the license for other files, I could ask Peter and
Xiang Xiao again to let them be more aggressive on this task. It is the

For some context most project graduate at 1 1/2 t 2 years, but some

Xiang introduced me to Peter from Xiaomi, and he is going to help gather
some overview data so we can see how many files and authors we're going to
be dealing with in different areas of the code. We'll be updating the wiki
page here:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NUTTX/License+Cleari
A focused effort to do the IP clearing sounds good. If we can get funding
to do it quicker, that would be great too. It's a good idea.
I did the stats that are on the wiki page for the 9.0 release. I'll see if
I can run this process on the rest of the project and post the numbers to
the wiki. I'll
OK, there is a sub page, about the status of a module at March
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NUTTX/Analysis+March+2020
Let's try to do this on the whole project to get some numbers?
Thanks.

IMO we should at least have some numbers about the current status first,
i.e, how many files can be cleared directly, how many can not, etc.
With the numbers in hand, then we can decide whether it is possible for us
to finish the work, and how to finish the work. Even if we want to reach
