Re: [eclipse.org-architecture-council] Improving license check for depen

Huh, always figured it was a part of it since the Runtime mission was so tied up in it.

Regardless, my point stands as I think it is a bit off to expect leaders of other projects on a PMC to make the call regarding nuances like how a given dependency relates to a project they are not strictly involved in.  The developers and leaders of a project are the right people and there needs to be a check, given that PLs are responsible for a project following the rules there should be a +1 for a Project Leader of a project instead of a +1 from the PMC.

cheers,

Jesse

Equinox is not part of Runtime (RT). The Eclipse top-level project handles Equinox CQs and we do understand the CQs.

The intent is to have the PMC decide whether or not the CQ makes technical sense. Specifically, the IP Team depends on the PMC to confirm that the requested dependency is indeed, for example, a prerequisite (and not, say, a works with). The EMO and IP Team are not generally able to make that assessment. 

I can see the intent but I question if the PMC is the appropriate gatekeeper to decide if a CQ is filed correctly.  Perhaps it is different for each PMC but from the Runtime perspective, I wouldn't expect anyone on Equinox to take the time to understand how any given CQ would relate to Jetty, at least to the level where they would diagnose that sort of nuance.
