IP Clearance question

[Brian Fox <br...@infinity.nu>]

Question on Step 3:
A software grant must be provided to the ASF. This grant can either be
done by the ASF Corporate CLA (via Schedule B) or the traditional
License Agreement. Acceptable methods of sending the grant to the ASF
includes:
snail-mail to the ASF office and/or ASF officer
FAXing to the ASF office and/or an ASF officer
Emailing the scanned document to secretary@apache.org and
legal-archive@apache.org.


Sonatype already has a CCLA on file and all the active committers are
already Maven Committers. Do we need to file any additional paper work
or is this step covered?

I think you'd either need to amend the CCLA to fill out schedule B, or submit a software grant.

While a contributor can probably commit it under section 7 of the CLA with the org's permission, given the size of it and that it's a contribution from multiple people at once, I think the grant is more appropriate.
