There have been proposals for providing terms of use for the Apache =
hosting that also honor what the incoming agreements were for =
already-existing material.  It has also been said that all that is =
needed is to apply an Apache ALv2 notice.  That's problematic for =
material contributed under other conditions, especially with specific =
copyright and license notices. =20

It has been suggested that the PPMC needed to decide what it wanted and =
then ask legal@ what could be had.  I know of no action taken on that =
suggestion though.  Now might be a good time.

It was also recommended (over at legal-discuss@) that Oracle terms =
should not appear on an ASF-hosted property.  That has not been =
implemented.

One place that has a specific discussion is this Bugzilla issue, which =
proposes a constant ToU for all of the OpenOffice.org web properties =
hosted by the ASF:

<https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=3D118518>

This document is annotated to show the changes and how the current =
contributions are still covered.  There's a lot of room for discussion, =
although some of the questions can only be answered by legal@.

It is also important to have a privacy statement, although I don't know =
if the ASF is interested in adhering to the US-EU Safe Harbor =
arrangement for Data Protection and Privacy.  Oracle did and that =
applied by reference in the Oracle ToU.  There also needs to be an =
explicit contact for take-down notices.

There has been limited legal-discuss@ on this, although there is a =
companion issue there, LEGAL-104, with considerable comment discussion: =
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-104>.

IMHO, we should be requiring Apache 2.0 on all new wiki contributions.
 It puzzles me that this is not yet reflected in the terms of use.
