Bringing in a class from a different project
Hi,
this is basically a legal question, but I'll try it here first.
I have a small class called ClosureResourceProvider in a project of mine called DKPro Core, which I work on here in Darmstadt - it is already licensed under the ASL. [1]
I have a CLA and CCLA from the University on file at Apache.
I'd like to move that class into a new uimafit-groovy module.
Can I do that or would that require a new SGA?
Cheers,
-- Richard

Yes, I wrote it. But strictly speaking I'd count has having been written
during working hours, which is why I mentioned that the CCLA is on file
as well.

IANAL, but I think this is similar to other scenarios that involve adding
resources to things we distribute. It all depends on the license of the 3rd
party code. If the code is licensed under the ASL (current version), then you
can add it. If it has mandatory "notices" that must accompany it, then these
would need to be added to the NOTICES file for any distribution which contains it.
In general, software grants are for "substantial" amounts of code or where
there's some questions as to the code's legal issues. It sounds to me that you
wrote this code, is that correct?
