including external code under apache 2.0

[Prescott Nasser]

Hey all, We've had a community member port a library for Lucene.Net that we'd like to include in our contrib packages. The package is under the apache 2.0 license, so we think we are in the clear to include the code into our contrib package - but we weren't sure and just wanted to double check. The contrib project is located here: https://github.com/synhershko/Spatial4n Thanks for your guidance~Prescott    

[Troy Howard-2]

My understanding is that we can include the code as long as we have a
ICLA from Itamar. This was discussed at length in January for another
contribution that the same contributor wanted to donate. Stephan
(Bodewig, our Incubation mentor) laid out what needed to be done
really clearly in that context.

Here's the link to the final message on that thread where Stephan
recaps the relevant points:

http://s.apache.org/HZa

I don't know if Itamar ever followed up after that and filed a ICLA.
If he did, we're good and just need to commit the code.. Otherwise,
we'll need him to do the ICLA first.

Thanks,
Troy

That mail from  Stephan got lost in my inbox, so I never followed up on
that. I guess now would be a good chance to tie up all loose ends.

How do I "do the ICLA"?

Itamar,

The easiest way to submit the CLA is via email.

Grab the form here:
http://www.apache.org/licenses/icla.txt

Print, then sign, then scan and email the image to
secretary@... (or do a digital signature on the PDF version...
http://www.apache.org/licenses/icla.pdf )

Thanks,
Troy
