CCLA agreement for Pull requests #367

Closed ivanB1975 closed 9 years ago

ivanB1975 commented 9 years ago

Hi guys,

I would like to make a small pull request with a new binding. My company requires a CCLA agreement (CCLA - Corporate Contribution Licence Agreement) from you to be able to approve my pull request. Is it possible this? Where can I get it. Bests Ivan

YCSB is distributed under the Apache license and any code contributed should conform to it. This is an open-source project facilitated by maintainers, so there is no "organization" as such that would supply a license agreement to you (apart from the Apache license).

I'll see what we can come up with. How long of a timeline is okay for you Ivan? On Jul 21, 2015 12:47 AM, "Ivan Baldinotti" notifications@github.com wrote:

Hi, thanks, yes off course I would use the same license of YCSB, we fully support it. I need a CCLA to get the approval from my department. If you can provide me with some sort of CCLA I can also wait. @busbey how long do you think it will take? Many thanks Ivan

ivanB1975 commented 9 years ago

Maybe an already existing CCLA can be used also in this case. For example here: https://developer.yahoo.com/cocktails/mojito/cla/ you already use a CCLA. What do you think? Bests Ivan

busbey commented 9 years ago

Well, YCSB doesn't get run out of Yahoo!'s developer group. We don't have any established CLA process because we rely on ASLv2 licensing from all of the contributors.

Do you know what your department wants to make sure is covered in the CCLA?

I saw this site that might help us: https://www.clahub.com/

cmatser commented 9 years ago

It has more information that you'd ever want to know about CLAs. It may not be the site to go with, but there's a discussion on alternatives, if the site maintainer doesn't find a suitable replacement for himself.

ivanB1975 commented 9 years ago

Thanks guys, I need to ask to my boss exactly the requirements. I will come back with these information ASAP.

ivanB1975 commented 9 years ago

We submitted the request to the department and it could be we will not need any CCLA. Let's see. As soon I have new information I will post here. Thanks Ivan

ivanB1975 commented 9 years ago

We can close the issue. I got the approval for the pull request. I will proceed so with it. Thanks for the support.
