| [epf-dev] Clarification for donating IP to Eclipse |
|
Hi Guys: I need a clarification about donating intellectual property
to Eclipse/EPF/BUP. I am a co-author of the book “Patterns for Effective
Use Cases” and I would like to contribute some of the use case patterns
to BUP as part of the use case writing guidelines. Of course Addison Wesley
holds the copyright to the book. I have asked my editor if AW if AW is willing
to yield copyright to Eclipse. They seem willing but have asked if it is
sufficient to give Eclipse “right to use” or does the Eclipse
foundation expect to “own” the copyright. This is also a question
my co-authors have. What is the expectation here for IP donations? Best regards, Steve Adolph Consultant WSA Consulting Inc P 1 604 696 0460 F 1 604 696 0470 |
