Hi Greg, *,

I pull this in a new thread, as it is basic for understanding the
difference between OCA and ICLA.

Let's also not forget that neither TDF nor the ASF require copyright
assignment. The copyright remains with the contributor.

Same thing with OCA. You don't/didn't "sell" your copy right instead it
was shared.

Thus, the patch can be offered to the TDF under its suggested
LGPLv3/MPL combination, and offered separately to the ASF under an
ALv2 license(*).

I don't see the basical difference between OCA and ICLA here.

Of course I see the difference between Oracle as a commercial company
and Apache Software Foundation as a charity. :o))

(*) strictly speaking, you do not offer code to the ASF under any
specific license. your ICLA grants the ASF a right to release your
code under a license of its choosing.

which is basically the same Oracle can do with contributions granted
under terms of OCA.

By the way: If this topic already was discussed elsewhere I appreciate
an archive link.

Gruß/regards
