Re: [nebula-dev] IP Log, etc.

[Matthew Hall <matthall@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If I'm not mistaken, in Platform UI we keep track of this by tagging 
bugs as "contributed" when there are code contributions from outside the 
Eclipse membership.  As I understand it, the bylaws only require us to 
track contributions so that IP is clearly delineated--it does not 
mandate where or how that log is constituted.  So it could just as 
easily be in a special file in CVS as in tags in Bugzilla.  This is just 
my understanding though--check with Eclipse legal to be sure.
