I missed this the first time through
Wayne: Mature projects couldn't be Type B
- only for Incubating ones. Helps them work out which software /
licenses they actually need.
I don't think that this is what I said.
The phase of the project is separate from the type of IP due
diligence used in any particular release.
I did suggest a couple of scenarios...
* A project starts with Type A and stays with Type A for its
entire lifespan
* A project starts with Type A and changes to Type B when it
graduates
* A project does multiple releases with Type A and a periodic
release with Type B.
The point is that the project can decide what level of due
diligence to bring for a release.
I also suggested that this will likely result in the IP team
doing due diligence on what the project demonstrates they actually
need as they get closer to the release with Type B, rather than
what they think they need the beginning of a release cycle like we
do today.
FWIW, I find it easier to think about this as a has-a
relationship, i.e. a particular release has a type of IP due
diligence rather than a particular release is a Type A release.
I still think that the blood type analogy works really well and
am disappointed at the lack of uptake.
HTH,

On the topic of the changes to the IP Policy (section pasted

At the moment there is no intent to include the IP review type
(Type A vs. Type B) in the project branding. It will be shown to
users in places like the PMI project metadata, the PMI release
record, and the release IP Log. But there is no need to include it
in the project branding, nor in the naming of release artifacts
like zip and jar files. Type A projects are full Eclipse projects,
and are in no way second class citizens.
Orbit will continue to include only those libraries which have
completed the full Eclipse IP review.
BTW, the new process will actually be quite different than the
parallel IP process. The parallel IP process is basically
optimistic concurrency --- eventually the work gets done. Type A
is just don't do the prereq scanning work at all. That's a big
difference.
Wayne: Changes to IP Policy
EF is working on a change to the IP Policy as blogged by Mike recently
- Introducing
a new, lighter-weight type of due diligence (license check on
contained code only - no provenance)
- Only
check what a project "claims" for Type A releases, but not
check if it's actually true
- Projects
could choose to be "Type A" or "Type B" per release
- Expecting
that Vertex would move to Type A ... others to do some
releases Type A, and at some point do Type B
- Sounds
very similar to "parallel IP process" -- how
to mark up what is what? How to deal with aggregates as
being Type A or Type B ?
