Hi all,

here at OFBiz we'd like to go on with the IP-clearance effort but, since 
we are going to contact *many* developers, we would like to be sure that 
the steps we'll perform are the correct ones.

Anyone here could help us to answer these questions? If not, could you 
please post a message to the legal-discuss list (it is only open to ASF 
committers) to see if we can get some feedback from them?

Thanks so much,

Jacopo
