[jira] [Commented] (LEGAL-287) Legal review of Apache Maturity
Model
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-287?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15862185#comment-15862185 ]
Chris A. Mattmann commented on LEGAL-287:
-----------------------------------------
+1 as a member of the legal committee that this is not a legal requirement of the ASF and is a best practice (at best) in the Incubator.
> Legal review of Apache Maturity Model
> -------------------------------------
>
> Key: LEGAL-287
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-287
> Project: Legal Discuss
> Issue Type: Question
> Reporter: John D. Ament
>
> I'd like to ask the legal team to review the maturity model - http://community.apache.org/apache-way/apache-project-maturity-model.html
> There are some clauses that don't sound quite right, either they don't align to the existing foundation policies or seem to mis-state them.
> CD30 - Does this preclude that the tooling required to build cannot be distributed with the package? What about projects that require lua or other interpreted language (e.g. not compiled).
> LC30 and LC20 seem to duplicate each other
> LC50 - I'm not sure what copyright has to do here. Its been discussed that copyright != licensing. The SGA is a license to use code under Apache v2 license. Copyright claims may be added to NOTICES in accordance with that.
> RE40 - Seems to imply that convenience binaries are expected.
> RE50 - While a good idea, seems to be a subtle foundation policy change.
> QU* - All seem to be new policy. Specifically, security is more of a foundation-wide requirement with foundation-wide rules for handling.
