I have no idea if that's ok from a legal pov, but it's your code :) any code donated to the ASF will need to be re-licensed under the ASF license or it will not be incorporated. for code borrowed under an ASF license, it's not a problem. for code written by you, you control the license terms, so you could just slap an ASF license on it an it would probably be easiest. but IANAL, and I really detest even needing to think about this licensing stuff. I get why it's important, I just don't like when it's me that needs to be bothered with it :) --Geoff |
