Shawn McKinney -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: (ITS#6995) Request for Contribution of Identity Access Management Software to OpenLDAP Project From: Kurt Zeilenga <Kurt(a)OpenLDAP.org&gt; Date: Mon, August 15, 2011 2:35 pm To: shawn.mckinney(a)jtstools.com Cc: openldap-its(a)OpenLDAP.org Shawn, I have reviewed the submitted materials. Other than a lack of a statement of origin, I find no reason why these materials cannot be accepted. Please submit a "statement of origin" in a follow-up to this ITS. This can simply be a statement to the effect that the all the submitted materials were authored by JoshuaTree Software, JoshaaTree is the exclusive owner of the works, and that the contribution is made available as indicated by the copyright and license statements in the work. If the work includes materials derived from works to which others own or otherwise have rights to, please detail. The Foundation has no objection to the Project establishing a sub-project of the OpenLDAP Project, similar to the Java LDAP and JDBC-LDAP sub projects, to develop works based upon your contribution. It is the Foundation understanding that Project is also willing to establish such a sub-project, and extend commit privs to the key developers who produced the contributed work. It is noted that the OpenLDAP Foundation, if it accepts the final contribution, would from time to time publish works derived (such as the source repository itself, and possibly packaged source bundles) from your contribution as well as possibly the contributions of others. The OpenLDAP Foundation will license its copyright right interests (initially likely quite limited) using the OpenLDAP Public License, and will encourage community members to license their contributions in a manner consistent with our general contribution guidelines. The OpenLDAP Public License is compatible with the 'New BSD open source license' and similar in its basic terms. The initial COPYRIGHT file (upon acceptance and initial publication by the OpenLDAP Foundation) would be based on the COPYRIGHT file currently found in OpenLDAP Software distributions, excepting JoshuaTree Software would be named as the contributor of the materials for which the published work is derived from, and notice immediately following the Foundation's notice would be that provided by JoshauTree covering the work as contributions. It is noted that I recently attempted to re-download the materials and they were no longer available. That fine, we'd want you to upload fresh zips to our servers once we all were ready to proceed.
