Hi @armatthews <https://github.com/armatthews> @redpony
<https://github.com/redpony> @amittai <https://github.com/amittai>
@mjdenkowski <https://github.com/mjdenkowski> we (the Apache Joshua
(incubating) podling project management committee) are currently VOTE'ing
***@***.***/msg59639.html>
on our 4th iteration of what we hope to be the first official Apache
release of Joshua 6.1 (Incubating).
Within the release candidate review however, we've stumbled across an
issue involving licensing of code
***@***.***/msg59966.html>
which was taken from cdec. Specifically, the files are sentclient.c
<https://github.com/redpony/cdec/blob/master/training/utils/sentclient.cc>
and sentserver.cc
<https://github.com/redpony/cdec/blob/master/training/utils/sentserver.cc>.
The issue is whether or not we can ship these files with the release. The
crux of the issue is as follows
Both files are /* Copyright (c) 2001 by David Chiang. All rights reserved.*/
Just because these files were added to a repo that is under an Apache license
(by someone other than the author I would note) doesn't automatically mean the
original files were Apache licensed.
Perhaps the best thing to do is to reach to the author and ask for permission
to use the files / clarify the license they are under?
Can someone please comment as to whether these files are licensed as
Apache Licence v2.0 as would be indicated by LICENSE.txt
<https://github.com/redpony/cdec/blob/master/LICENSE.txt>?
Thank you in advance.

@redpony can you please tag him here? Thank you |
|
@redpony sorry to be a PITA, can you please ping David here? Thank you kindly. |
|
E-mail him? https://www.nd.edu/~dchiang/ |
|
Thank you @kpu |
|
Paging @davidweichiang |

@lewismc, these were included long ago not via cdec but via Adam Lopez (a former colleague). However, they aren't really used by anything, and can be safely removed if you don't hear from David. |

Oh wow, glad someone is using my code. :) Since these were written when I was a student, I believe (but have not checked) that I am indeed the copyright holder, not the University of Pennsylvania. If that's the case, I'd be happy to license them under the Apache license. |
|
Ok doke thank you for all the input. |
|
Is there any ways for this to be checked out? I know it may be a bit of a pain, but we would rather include them than remove at this stage. Thanks again. |

Sorry I'm not sure what you are asking -- whether I am the copyright holder?

As far as I can tell, this policy answers in the affirmative: http://provost.upenn.edu/policies/faculty-handbook/research-policies/iii-d
