Re: [technology-pmc] Do we need to file a CQ?

[Wayne Beaton <wayne.beaton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mickael is correct. No CQ is required.

The only questionable part is whether or not we can reasonably assert that the contribution was created "under the supervision of the PMC". We generally take this to mean that the contribution is part of the project plan, or in response to a documented issue, or otherwise comes to the project as a natural part of its evolution.

By way of example, if the contribution comes completely "out of the blue" or you have reason to suspect that some of the content may have come from unknown sources, then you should engage the IP Team.

Hi Fred,

I'm no PMC but I believe this case is covered by figure 2 of the Legal Poster. As Valerii is a colleague of yours and Red Hat did sign the member agreement, it seems to me you're good to merge the code if there is no other concern.

Cheers,
