Woolsey provides tools to assist with the generation and maintenance of IP Logs, the ability to submit logs to the Eclipse Foundation IP team for review, and the ability to compare logs against project distributions (to ensure that an IP Log reflects the contents of a project's downloads, p2 repositories, Maven repositories, and other similar distribution mechanisms). As part of this project, we further intend to explore enabling the user to specify mappings between third-party contributions noted in the logs (contribution questionnaires) and the library files distributed by the project. Other matters related to IP management by Eclipse projects may be considered by the project.

Background

As part of the Eclipse Development Process, projects are required to maintain a log that details their intellectual property contributions. This log must include all third-party code that is either distributed or leveraged by the project, identities of the committers who regularly contribute, and the identities of other contributors along with their contributions. The log should further indicate the licenses in use by the project and other information relevant to provenance of the code maintained and distributed by the project. Projects are required to submit their log for review by the Eclipse IP team at key points in their life-cycle, including moves, releases, and graduation.

Much of the content of the logs can be generated using information that is available through the various databases maintained by the Eclipse Foundation.
