@alamb I'm not clear on what should be provided here. I saw that for the object store donation there was an entry of Identify name recorded for software grant: Software Grant from InfluxData, Inc, recoded 2022-07-22. Could you tell me more about the process you followed?

When we donated the object_store crate initially to ASF, we also filled submitted a Software Grant: https://www.apache.org/licenses/contributor-agreements.html#grants

When an individual or corporation decides to donate a body of existing software or documentation to one of the Apache projects, they need to execute a formal Software Grant Agreement (SGA) with the ASF. Typically, they do this after negotiating approval with the ASF Incubator or one of the PMCs, since the ASF does not accept software unless there is a viable community available to support it as part of a collaborative project.

We already have a vote to accept this software into the Arrow project by the Arrow PMC.

Basically, I think this form needs to be filled out https://www.apache.org/licenses/software-grant-template.pdf

(update: see discussion below)

@sunchao, @viirya, @kazuyukitanimura, @huaxingao, @parthchandra, @comphead, @snmvaughan

Please be aware that active committers are responsible for ensuring that a Corporate CLA is recorded if such is required to authorize their contributions under their individual CLA.

I guess that we don't need it as we don't require it for our other open source contributions. But I'm trying to make sure of it by asking the question internally.

I was told that we typically do OSS under ICLA only. This is what we did for Arrow and Spark etc. contributions.

alamb · 2024-02-06T00:11:32Z

If you are the only authors, and we have verified that all the authors have an ICLA on file, this is probably fine. I think the idea for the donation form is to ensure it is 100% clear that no corporation will try and assert ownership of the work being donated.

Maybe there is something in the https://lists.apache.org/list.html?legal-discuss@apache.org archives about a similar situation, or if not we could ask there

alamb · 2024-02-06T00:22:21Z

https://lists.apache.org/thread/11bqj3b5j4xsx58cyddfwntsq6jdlknk looks potentially related but not quite the same

What I suggest is:

We get confirmation from @sunchao (the author) that the people on the intial commit to Initial PR #1 are the only authors
We ask all authors to conform that they are legally entitled to donate the work to the Apache Software Foundation (ideally they also have an ICLA filed with Apache, but I don't think this is required)

The authors listed on the 2b95ac4 are:

Initial PR
Co-authored-by: Liang-Chi Hsieh <liangchi@apple.com>
Co-authored-by: Kazuyuki Tanimura <ktanimura@apple.com>
Co-authored-by: Steve Vaughan Jr <s_vaughan@apple.com>
Co-authored-by: Huaxin Gao <huaxin_gao@apple.com>
Co-authored-by: Parth Chandra <parthc@apple.com>
Co-authored-by: Oleksandr Voievodin <ovoievodin@apple.com>

If this sounds reasonable to you, I would also be happy to write a note to legal-discuss to see what they say

alamb · 2024-02-06T00:31:23Z

I actually did some digging digging in the archives --

I think the situation we are discussing here is covered by
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-420
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-590

My understanding of those tickets is that making sure we have provenance (who wrote the code) and an assertion they have the legal right to donate the code is sufficient (e.g. I still believe #2 (comment) good advice)

sunchao · 2024-02-06T01:11:46Z

Thanks @alamb !

We get confirmation from @sunchao (the author) that the people on the intial commit to #1 are the only authors

Yes, I can confirm these are the only authors of Comet.

We ask all authors to conform that they are legally entitled to donate the work to the Apache Software Foundation (ideally they also have an ICLA filed with Apache, but I don't think this is required)

At this point, all of us should have ICLA filed (most of us already are committers so have filed it long time back, except Kazuyuki and Steve who filed it recently).

Yes, their ICLA confirmations were recently received by the ASF secretary

I checked this morning and found that all contributors are either PMC members or committers of ASF projects or have recently filed ICLAs.

sunchao · 2024-02-06T03:47:50Z

Thanks @andygrove and @alamb ! Please let us know if you've got everything you need. Happy to provide any additional info required.

I reviewed this document and I think looks good from my perspective

I believe @andygrove , being the chair of the Arrow project (and thus an officer) can double check ICLAs are on file https://whimsy.apache.org/ but I believe they are

I see we have already reminder the contributors of their obligations via #2 (comment) (it might be nice if they acknowledged this actively, but I don't think it is required)

So all in all I think we are good to go.

I also looked at Comet / Comet ML and I agree they look fine to me: I do not think someone would be confused between "Apache Arrow Comet" and "Comet ML"
