Jasig has become part of the Apereo Foundation as of December 2012. Going forward, all policies and practices around licensing and intellectual property for Jasig projects are under the stewardship of the Apereo Foundation. The Apereo policies and practices are nearly identical to the ones used by Jasig. Please see http://www.apereo.org/licensing for more information. |
Existing Jasig projects, like uPortal and CAS, will need to transition from their current licensing process to this new process. This must be handled carefully to make sure future intellectual property problems are not created in the process. For each project, there will be two major steps to this process: 1) moving the committers to the new policy and then 2) moving the codebase to the new policy. The project steering committees are responsible for ensuring this process is executed properly. The goal here is to conform to the new Jasig process for Implementing the Licensing Policy, while still adhering to the conditions of contributions that were previously made before the new policy was put into effect.
