[jira] [Created] (LEGAL-504) Spin code out to non-ASF
projects/contributors
Cassandra Targett created LEGAL-504:
---------------------------------------
Summary: Spin code out to non-ASF projects/contributors
Key: LEGAL-504
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-504
Project: Legal Discuss
Issue Type: Question
Components: Policy Question
Reporter: Cassandra Targett
The Lucene PMC is discussing removing several features of Apache Solr and allowing various individual contributors to maintain them as non-official plugins. Others may come along after that point and fork the code to make variant plugins, or something else entirely.
These contributors may not be current committers (and may never be), and some potential forks may choose to put their changes under a non-Apache-friendly license.
Are there any legal issues we should be concerned about here? Would we be expected to give them a software grant (and if so, what would that look like)?
We assume they would need to remove the license headers, are there other considerations?
