crypto statement revisited

Fellow researchers,

I'd like to pick up again a previous thread started by Stefano[1] about
export declarations.

Two labs use crypto libs ATM AFAIK, BaDCA and Vysper.

So the following should probably be added to
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/infrastructure/site/trunk/xdocs/licenses/exports/index.xml
with the details for BaDCA to be done:

<Project href="http://james.apache.org/">

Additionally an email must be sent somewhere to tell about the fact. I
sent it for shindig, so I can look into the details if needed, but I
don't have it to check right now.

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-118 documents what was done
for Tika, that might help.

Yeah, I think it is different for incubator; because of the number of
podlings it is done by mentors instead. Not sure about labs, which is
somehow similar to incubator.

No, the chair should always send that email.  Think about 'good crypto'
vs something the BIX determines to be 'bad crypto' (wtf that would be).
The chair has additional support of and protection from being a corporate
officer of the ASF.  But it's simplest for all if others can help the
chair by updating license/exports/index.html.  That entry provides the
chair with everything they need to know to fire off that notice.

Hmm, the chair just got back from his honeymoon and lab's crypto was not
exactly very high on his priority list.

So, what email are we talking about?

Not only an email, but following a whole process described here

Although it's Stefano's job to email the official notice, and to oversee
the labs, it is not his responsibility to avoid committing crypto-encumbered
code.  It's up to each of the folk who *are prepared to add* such code
in labs' svn repository to communicate this to Stefano *in advance* of
committing the code.  The exercise over the past four months was first and
foremost to educate all the PMC's on this policy.

So if those of you who mistakenly committed crypto code would be kind enough
to put together these details and pass on the appropriate diffs for the
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/infrastructure/site/trunk/xdocs/licenses/exports/index.xml
file and the appropriate notice under that policy, you will spare Stefano
the headache and heartache of purging those repositories from svn.

Agreed.

I previously asked if we should remove crypto code from Vysper, and it
was agreed that no, we can live with it for now as long as the export
notification is added. So here we go.

At the beginning of this thread one will find the proposed - yet
incomplete - XML to be added to index.xml. (Oops, I notice right now
that the very first line should not read "james.apache.org" but
"labs....") I will try to ping BaDCA for the missing information and
post an update.

I am not on the Labs PMC, but if I there is anything I can do to move
this forward, please give me a little hint.

:) congrats! I understand about priorities...

I was asking for specifics about incubator, in the email you quote. But
in the case being discussed here, BadCA and vysper are using encryption
technologies, so the procedure at
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/infrastructure/site/trunk/xdocs/licenses/exports/index.xml
should be followed, as Bernd Fondermann pointed Apr 29th in the email
that started this thread.

Bertrand Delacretaz pointed at
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-118
to see the whole procedure outlined.

Basically the work involved is:
* assessment of the crypto used
* NOTICE in the lab code with the details
* adding notes to the first URL (Bernd's email)
* the chair sending an email to whatever authority pointing them to the
URLs.

Regards
Santiago

AFAIK, the notice does not normally go in the NOTICE file (which is
for attributions only), but in a README file.

I understood it went to the NOTICE file because it was a mandatory
Notice (under the US export laws), akin to a mandatory attribution
under copyright laws. I'm using the distinction that Roy said: all
that should go into an About... dialog box belongs to NOTICE. And the
export notification looks like the prototypical About... stuff.

I might be wrong, meaning I need to move the shindig NOTICE if it is the case.

Anybody knows for certain?

Regards
Santiago
