The status of the Patent Clase FAQ was discussed, specifically the entry below: Q: If I own a patent and contribute to a project, and, at the time my contribution is included in the project, none of my patent's claims are subject to Apache's Grant of Patent License, is there a way any of that patent's claims would later become subject to the Grant of Patent License solely due to subsequent contributions by other parties who are not licensees of that patent. A. No. The board expressed no concern with the above clarification. Cliff was to pass this along to our lawyers for comments and feedback.
