Hypothetical New Code Scenario...

[James Carman <ja...@carmanconsulting.com>]

All,

Suppose the Tapestry TLP project creates a new subproject called "Tapestry
Commons."  Then, I want to add some code that I've developed outside of the
ASF to the Tapestry Commons subproject.  Does that code have to go through
the incubator?  My guess is that it does so that we avoid licensing/IP
issues.  But, I just want to verify.

Thanks,

James

Yes, it'll just need the IP clearance forms detailed in:

On the one hand, we did exactly that with contributions to the HTTP Server,
JAMES, and other projects.  On the other hand, you are contributing your own
code under your CLA, so one might fairly ask why it is different from any
other commit.  I suggest that since it is an existing corpus of work as a
new codebase, not as a contribution to an existing one (a "commons" is not a
codebase), that we record the IP, for which Justin has already provided the
instructions.
