IP clearance for importing repos
[note crosspost]
The Milagro podling is looking to import several repos from github
(enumerated at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MILAGRO-1 ).
They're already Apache-Licensed. Do we need a full Software
Grant before importing to the Incubator, or is it sufficient to
clear that before graduating?

Yes, a full Software Grant is needed. This forms the basis of the
podling's code base and is a significant contribution that would
otherwise require IP clearance, the original contributors (the legal
copyright holders) need to sign a software grant, sent to
secretary@apache.org.
Only once the secretary emails the private@milagro list back to
confirm reception of the Software Grant can you import the code base
to git.apache.org.
As your code base is Apache-licensed it should normally be sufficient
to have a software grant from the 'original' rights holder per
repository (Certivox?) - as any later contributions would have been
covered by clause 5 in the license:
http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0#contributions
However any larger contributions in the past may still needs to be
part of the grant (e.g. if NTT contributors added a new module rather
than just fixing some bugs, NTT should also sign the Software Grant).
