IP Clearance Process for Incubating projects
Hi, community.
As a PPMC member of Apache Weex, I found some useful tools developed outside ASF code repo, and I’d like to make those tools donated to Weex PPMC.
Is there any necessary to go through the standard IP clearance process considering the fact that Weex is currently in Apache Incubator? We found projects still in incubating might not need to do that[1].
If that’s true, then how shall we continue donation process without the IP clearance process?

Thanks, that’s clear enough for me.

Correct, they do not, one ICLA for the ASF is enough, it’s not required per project or per donation.

Thanks.
There is another question during the donation. If some contributors of the donated code repo already signed ICLA in other projects, do they have to submit ICLA again for the new project? My understanding is that they don’t.

Don’t forget to file the forms with the secretary.

Understood, that’s why I use plural form of ICLAs.
I shall collected ICLAs/SGAs and send them to the mailing list by the end of this weekend if everything is fine. But I’m confused about what I shall do next to transfer those Git repo to ASF, maybe creating a JIRA issue to INFRA?

Hi,

Just to be clear the ICLAs need to be be from all the contributors, not just one person.
> I have also read the mentor-guide[2] ,
This is a new documenting and incomplete and draft, I’ve been trying to get existing experienced mentors to contribute to it, so we can help other mentors and podlings in what to do in situations like this.
Thanks,
Justin

This is not done yet.
The code owner of a third-party tool [1] is willing to give the donation to ASF, and I’m happy to receive the donation.
I think I shall get the ICLAs/SGA signed by the code owner and send the result to dev@weex.apache.org <ma...@weex.apache.org> , then I am confused about what to do next.
I have also read the mentor-guide[2] , and the section about "Having trouble getting software transferred to ASF." is blank now. A brief introduction about how to continue the donation is really appreciated, and I am happy to fill out the donation section in mentor-guide after donation is done if my experience is needed.

What's important is that the code have clear IP provenance and the project has permission to use it and it’s licensed under an ALv2 compatible license. Perhaps if we had more information we could provide better guidance?

Thanks for your quick reply. I’m still a little confused about what I should do next.
Suppose ICLAs / SGAs is already signed and send to a proper mailing list (dev@weex.apache.org <ma...@weex.apache.org>), what should I do next ? Is there any documentation for make a donation to a project still in Incubator?

Hi,
IMO there’s no need to go through the standard IP process but you still need to check the IP of the donation very carefully and make sure that you ICLA for all people who worked on it and/or a SGA if needed (depending on who owns the code’s copyright). It best if this is recorded on the mailing list or somewhere as it can be checked if needed.
Thanks,
Justin
