Hi Sasa,

I'm following apache.incubator not very closely but looking at
"http://incubator.apache.org/guides/proposal.html#template-ip" you need
a CLA for all contributions (and probable patches). And this seems
difficult for a mature project where many people contributed stuff under
LGPL - but a lot of folks here are more fluent with the intellectual
property legalese.

Cheers,

Siegfried Goeschl
