It is my understanding that any contribution, via either mailing list or an issue tracker, is for inclusion unless the originator explicitly says "Not a contribution". In fact, the LICENSE-2.0 text explicitly says so under the definition of Contribution and goes further. It is dangerous to try to summarise these things. That Jira checkbox intends to makes it easier for them to specify not a contribution. I find it to be misleading. It should be the other way around, and it should link directly to the definition of contribution. Why do we need a checkbox at all? They can say so in their comment. -David --------------------------------------------------------------------- DISCLAIMER: Discussions on this list are informational and educational only.
