Re: [ecf-dev] authentication and file transfer API

Hi Jeff/Remy,

As the one who has been 'walking the IP walk' for ECF for nearly two years now I can tell you we're doing what's required.

Unfortunately, in my view this has been at significant cost to ECF's speed of progress.  The 'heavyweightness' of the IP process hampers small projects much more than large/corp supported ones...and as you know it hampers the large ones to a significant degree.

Absolutely.  Nothing has changed in the process.  ANY project wanting to use ANY third party lib/code MUST file a CQ with the foundation.  In the event that that lib/version has already been approved for use in another project AND that approval was scoped for "all", this is pretty much of a rubber stamp (but needed nonetheless).  You iwll not pass a release review without having walked the walk.

Hi everyone,

Well, ECF still needs to go through legal, though, no? I mean, after
ip process + sent out into Orbit. So claims the Orbit FAQ [1].
