Donation to Apache Cassandra and ASF
Reassignment of copyright, where approved, and relicensing.
New repository will be github.com/apache/cassandra-python-driver

[michaelsembwever]

To all past contributors,

We are working on donating this project to the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) to be formally part of the Apache Cassandra project, specifically its Drivers subproject. ref: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSPYTHON-2

Part of the process is to check with all past contributors, asking for your consent to move the codebase and transfer its copyright to the ASF (the license stays the same).

To provide consent a simple +1 comment on this pull request is all that is required.

Normally we seek past contributors to sign the ASF's ICLA when donating IP over to an Apache project. In this situation we don't need to as the whole codebase is already copyright to DataStax covered by existing CLA on all past contributions. We are still going through the process of seeking consent from all contributors in good faith.

The collection of agreements and CLAs is being tracked in this document: https://ibm.box.com/s/jm7aogdvfbky70y6eexr80qkb34cj0gd
; and recorded in the NOTICE file.

I thought this had been done a few years ago? I certainly agreed the last few times and I'm happy to agree now. I'm happy to give up any and all authorship rights on this project if it means I stop hearing about changes to a project I made minor contributions to almost a decade ago and haven't needed to use since.

Reviewed license changes for all files, that all looks good to me.

I'm going to post info on dependencies (and licensing around them) shortly.

[absurdfarce]

I've confirmed that we're good with all current dependencies. What follows is the list of dependencies (taken from all three requirements.txt files) and the license status for each:

• requirements.txt
  • geomet>=1.1 [ASL 2.0]
• test-requirements.txt
  • scales [ASL 2.0]
  • pytest [MIT]
  • ccm>=2.1.2 [ASL 2.0]
  • pytz [MIT]
  • pure-sasl [MIT]
  • twisted[tls] [MIT]
  • gevent [MIT]
  • eventlet [MIT]
  • cython>=0.20,<0.30 [ASL 2.0]
  • packaging [ASL 2.0/BSD]
  • futurist [ASL 2.0]
  • asynctest [ASL 2.0]
• test-datastax-requirements.txt
  • kerberos [ASL 2.0]
  • gremlinpython==3.4.6 [ASL 2.0]
  • cryptography >= 35.0 [ASL 2.0/BSD]

[absurdfarce]

Bah, my last effort didn't include transitive dependencies. Updating to include all of those as well:
