Hello.
I might not be the most expert on IP issues, but from the EC meetings I
recall that contributions to a JSR flow from contributors to the Spec
Leads, who themselves grant the license to others. There is work on the EC
to change this, but I think that's the way it works until today. (Again, I
might be completely wrong and I'll ask around in the next F2F about this).
So, all contributions made to other JSRs were "transferred" to the then
Spec Leads. As we have 2 Spec Leads from other JSRs, that's how the IP has
flown...
We could make an effort to gather others again to become EG members for
this JSR. Werner, did you do that? Reach out to past contributors?
Another thing, recognition on the JSR has to be bound by the JSPA as well,
that's what Oracle/PMO has been saying: the Spec Leads must be attentive to
only have contributions from JSPA-bound people. If we have contributions
that were not bound by the JSPA (at the time of contribution), then we
should consider removing them...
This is my 2 cents as a newcomer to this legal stuff :)
Regards,
Leonardo.
