Re: Doing the IP-Clearance for the AlchmeyAPI Annotator

[Tommaso Teofili <to...@gmail.com>]

Hi Jukka,
it seems to me that the IP-Clearance on general@incubator got lazy
consensus.
Should we raise a RESULT email?
Any further steps needed I can help with? (According to Marshall's previous
email it seems the answer is no)
Cheers.
Tommaso
