[jira] Commented: (LEGAL-33) Apache License explicitly says a Contribution is a Contribution unless marked "Not a Contribution", however the Development Process page and Jira tracker have confusing text and do the opposit

Henri Yandell commented on LEGAL-33:
------------------------------------

Ahh - light dawns a year later. This is a request for change in the JIRA plugin.

I'm all for that. It should read more like the license, with the larger text being about NOT allowing this for use rather than allowing for use.Also a request that it default to 'Allow'.

I think both of those are fine given what the license says. I can work on modifying the JIRA plugin.
