Luca- Did you get a reply on this ? I have not seen a reply, maybe I missed something. -Jeff --------------- Original Message --------------- Subject: [pjsip] Contributor Agreement: how to submit somebody else's patch From: "Luca Ceresoli" <luca@lucaceresoli.net> Date: Mon, March 14, 2016 2:39 pm To: pjsip@lists.pjsip.org ------------------------------------------------ Dear PJSIP developers, I have a question concerning the Contributor Agreement (http://trac.pjsip.org/repos/wiki/ContributionAgreement). I have a build problem in PJSIP and found a patch to fix it on the repository of another open source project. The original author does not seem to be interested in mainlining their fix. I would like to send myself the patch but I'm not sure I'm allowed to do it because of the following sentence in the agreement: > With respect to your contribution, you represent that: [...] > it is an original work In this case I cannot state it is an original work. And if my understanding is correct it would be illegal to apply the fix under the agreement, unless the original author wants to submit it. Am I correct? How can I have the fix in upstream? Thanks, -- Luca _______________________________________________ Visit our blog: http://blog.pjsip.org pjsip mailing list pjsip@lists.pjsip.org http://lists.pjsip.org/mailman/listinfo/pjsip_lists.pjsip.org

I asked for further clarification [1] and got no reply to that. My best understanding is that without a publicly-visible authorization from the original patch author I cannot submit it. And the original patch is so simple and straightforward that I cannot think of any way to rewrite it without making it worse.
