About signing CLA for code donors in incubating projects
Hello,
A fast question, to which I cannot find an answer in the site.
Does a code donor for an incubating project need to sign a CLA even if
he does not want to participate in the development?
In particular, I am writing about Dimensions proposal:
http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/DimensionsProposal
in which Aaron Roller wants to donate the code, but does not want to
become a Tiles/Dimensions committer. Does he need to sign a CLA?
Thanks in advance and sorry for the dumb question.
Antonio

Thank a lot Martijn! I'd never found this section without your help :-)

The software grant can be signed during incubation, before the code
actually arrives. It's part of the incubation process.

One last question.
Does he need to sign the software grant as a prerequisite to the project to
enter the incubator, or should it be done *after* the approval to enter?
Thanks

I think a software grant is in order then [1]. There does need to be a paper
trail where he grants the foundation the use of the code. That can either be
through a CLA or a software grant.

Hi Antonio,
If the contributor signs a CLA and then herself commits the code to
the Apache repository, it's ok.
If the contributor signs a code grant and then attaches the code to a
JIRA, it's ok.
If the contributor signs a code grant and then emails the code to the
project, it's ok but not preferred.
One way or the other, the contributor must sign a legal grant of
license to Apache.
