Re: How to handle "module" contributions

2014-02-17 Thread Joseph Schaefer
Judgement call depending on what you might consider a reasonable size for a minor fix versus an independent work (e.g. new module). The larger the patch the more likely you should consider having the author file some paperwork with Apache to cover the contribution. HTH On Feb 17, 2014, at 7:20 PM

It means that unless Nathan Marz and an Yahoo! employee added those items to the NOTICE, you can remove them. But if they did, than either Nathan Marz or a Y! employee should be asked to. In terms of being a release blocker, I’d say not. If you fix this in HEAD that should be sufficient to conti
