Regarding thjis point (3), here is the response I have had :

" that's covered by
our committers iCLA, section 4, "You represent that you are legally
entitled to grant the above license. If your employer(s) has
rights...".

So if someone commits code without their employer's permission it's
clearly their responsibility.

The same applies to software grants IMO, on our side we accept them if
we can reasonably assume that whoever signed them is authorized to do
so, and if someone wasn't it's also clearly their responsibility."


Bottom line, there are two things that are required :
- first, Kai Zheng must fill a code donation form and send it to
secretary@a.o :

"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."

(http://incubator.apache.org/ip-clearance/ip-clearance-template.html#form-filling)

- each one of the kerby committer must be sure they understand the iCLA
they submitted to The ASF : they do have to check with their management
they are allowed to give the code they are writing to The ASF. If I
understand correctly, this is the case, so we should be safe here.

Thanks !

I also have checked with my management and it's ok for me to give my codes to the ASF.

Sorry for the late due to a national wide holiday.

For the first item we need to do, I will fill the code donation form late today.

Regarding the second item or the following request, I have checked with my management and it's OK for me to give my codes to the ASF. Would other Kerby committers please check this as well? Thanks.
