| Re: [recommenders-dev] Code Recommenders: leveraging user community - terms of usage, data, and server? |

FWIW, the Eclipse Foundation has a single lawyer on staff. Though we
do retain the services of other lawyers. So I guess, "lawyers" is
generally accurate :-) The project needs to make a case to the Eclipse Foundation for capturing and maintaining this data. We are very concerned about privacy, and so are many people in the community. There are actual laws in some countries that need to be considered as well. Since we are a transparent and open organization, there needs to be consideration for disseminating the collected data to other parties. With the usage data, we tried publishing filtered data (which excluded anything that could potentially expose/identify specific users) with limited success. We failed in this regard which is a big reason why we shut down the udc. Unfortunately, the Eclipse Foundation lacks the bandwidth to maintain this data on your behalf.

For SnipMatch, it would probably make the most sense to have wording in to the effect that the contributor is verifying that they own the code and is giving a royalty-free license to use it for any purpose. This would be associated with a checkbox that must be checked when the code is to be shared publicly. We currently have something to this effect already built, but the wording hasn't been run by lawyers.

Extended documentation platform, code completion engines, and local code search engine are maturing quickly and SnipMatch guys will start at the end of January. Java, RCP/RAP, and Scout Packages expressed some interest to integrate Code Recommenders in their package and we work at full blast to make this happen. One thing that hasn't been discussed in detail was how do we deal with the data users provide for instance to snipmatch's community code templates store or to the extended documentation platform? Is there a special wiki-like 'terms of usage' needed? Were does this data go to? Also, for stacktrace search or model generation and model download some data needs to be delivered to the client and submitted. We started this discussion a while ago but postponed it. I'd like to pick up the discussion again - early enough before Juno arrives. I'm not sure wether this is a discussion for the PMC mailing list since finally it's a decision of the Foundation. But Wayne will know, I guess.
