Hello,

 

One of the projects working under the Eclipse Foundation has expressed an
interest in redistributing ImageJ from within Eclipse.  Eclipse is an open
source community whose projects are focused on building an open development
platform comprised of extensible frameworks, tools and runtimes for
building, deploying and managing software across the lifecycle.

 

I have a quick question that we ask as part of our due diligence on third
party open source packages, and I'm hoping that one of the ImageJ project
team can help shed some light for me.

 

Does ImageJ ask contributors to acknowledge (via email or otherwise) that
the contributor has the rights to the code they are contributing and that
they have agreed to release it in the public domain as described in ImageJ's
disclaimer statement on http://rsbweb.nih.gov/ij/disclaimer.html?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Regards,
