Checking status of "transfer rights" ?

Hi,

sorry if this is not the right channel for this question, but, I'd like 
to find out if ASF has received any paperworks from Yahoo!, showing that 
we've transfered the rights for Traffic Server code to ASF. If not, is 
there a form that they need to fill out and submit?

Also, I know we still need to transfer some TM over to ASF as well, but 
that is still being worked on. I'd assume transfer of these remaining 
TMs (most have expired already, including the one in the US) is a 
prerequisite for doing an official Apache Traffic Server release?

Thanks!

To not stall, lets work on both ends, get the "we won't sue you" paper 
signed and submitted, and keep working on the transfer of the remaining 
TMs to ASF. This will allow us to proceed with the alpha release 
schedule for ATS 2.0.0a (end of this month).

Cheers,

Yes -- Is this the final decision about how we are to proceed? Apache 
legal-discuss hasn't been clear.

Does it make sense to ask Yahoo to write a letter that tells they won't
sue us over the TM?

There hasn't been a CCLA, but all of traffic servers commits have been
covered by iCLAs of the comitters, so no, Yahoo does not need to do
anything else.

I honestly don't think we should block doing a release on this, if
Yahoo sues us over the TM, well... heh, it just doesn't make sense.

Thanks,
