Signing ICLA for significant contribution was Re: [apache/incubator-dubbo] Repackage to org apache (#1941)

[Huxing Zhang <hu...@apache.org>]

Hi All,

I have suggested to sign the ICLA for significant contribution, e.g.
repackage to org.apache.dubbo, which was based on the knowledge that it is
ASF wide policy.

As pointed by Mark, that was not true. Maybe I have confused it with the IP
clearance process :(

Since it is up to the project to decide, I am going to change my +1 vote to
do not require ICLA signing for significant contribution.

How do you guys think?

Since ICLAs will definitely affect efficiency and Mark has clarified that it’s not mandatory in the ASF policy, I am voting +1, not require ICLAs for contributors.
 .

Best regards,
