About Apache NetBeans

Note that a Corporate CLA does not remove the need for every developer to sign their own ICLA as an individual, which covers both contributions the corporation signing the CCLA owns, and those it does not own

The CCLA legally binds the corporation, so a person with authority to enter into legal contracts on behalf of the corporation must sign it

The ICLA an individual signs is not tied to any employer they may have, so we recommend that individuals use their personal email addresses in the contact details, rather than their @work addresses

The ASF publishes your legal name unless you provide an alternative display name For example, if your full name is Andrew Bernard Charles Dickens, but you wish to be known as Andrew Dickens, enter the latter as your Display Name

We do not publish your postal address

If you are submitting an ICLA in response to an invitation from a PMC, be sure to identify the project via the form field "notify project" Also, choose a preferred ID that is not already in use Apache IDs must start with an alphabetic character and contain at least two additional alphanumeric characters (no special characters) You can check for IDs in use here

When an individual or corporation decides to donate a body of existing software or documentation to one of the Apache projects, they need to execute a formal Software Grant Agreement (SGA) with the ASF Typically, they do this after negotiating approval with the ASF Incubator or one of the PMCs, since the ASF does not accept software unless there is a viable community available to support it as part of a collaborative project

HOW-TO: SUBMITTING LICENSE AGREEMENTS AND GRANTS

You may sign documents by hand or by electronic signature, and submit them by email The ASF no longer accepts submissions by postal mail or by fax

When submitting by email, please fill in the form with a PDF viewer, then print and sign it, scan all pages into a single PDF file, and attach the PDF file to an email addressed to secretary@apache org

No printer? See CLA Frequently Asked Questions If possible, send the attachment from the email address you list in the document Send only one attached document per email

If you prefer to sign electronically, fill in the form, save it locally (e g icla pdf), and sign the file by preparing a detached PGP signature For example, gpg --armor --detach-sign icla pdf This will create a file named icla pdf asc

Send both the file (icla pdf) and the signature (icla pdf asc) as attachments in the same email to secretary@apache org Send only one document (file plus signature) per email

Do not submit your public key to Apache Instead, upload your public key to keyserver ubuntu com
