Thanks for the patch. I had to speak with one of our company Directors
to know how to handle patches from community members. Since MySQL AB
is the copyright holder of the Eventum code, we need to follow a
procedure when accepting patches. This is what I was told:
1) If the code change is less then 15 lines, you can just use it
(multiple patches do add up).
2) Otherwise, you need to get one of the legal waivers and have them
sign it.
3) Email to a list saying "I hand over copyright to MySQL" is also
fine.
Since your patch had 11 new lines (can't believe I actually had to
count them ;), I'm just going to apply the patch and assume you don't
have a problem with MySQL AB having the copyright over it. Let me know
otherwise.
Joao,
Ahh, the corporate life. : )
Yes, I hand over copyright of my patch to MySQL AB -- no problem.
I would like to contribute more patches as I come across things I find ...
Odds are good that some of them will contain more than 15 lines. To save you
the counting, go ahead and shoot me over a waiver to sign when you get a
chance. : )
