> -------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LEGAL-420
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-420
> Project: Legal Discuss
> Issue Type: Question
> Reporter: Bertrand Delacretaz
> Assignee: Craig L Russell
> Priority: Major
>
> The IP clearance template at [1] says:
> {quote}Either an Individual CLA or Corporate CLA is preferred to a Software Grant. All owners of IP must sign one of the three documents and send to secretary
> {quote}
> To me it's unclear whether we can omit the requirement for a Software Grant when incoming software clearly appears to belong to a corporation, being hosted for example at github.com/<corporation name>
> Are iCLAs from all authors of the incoming software sufficient in such a case?
> The "all owners of IP must sign" statement quoted above makes me unsure.
> We have a concrete case at INCUBATOR-222, a donation where all contributors to the incoming code have an iCLA on file, but which clearly comes from IBM.
