Description

This question needs to be reworked. The employer is responsible for the MCA, but is not directly responsible for completing ICA-related paperwork (i.e. the ECF is no longer required). Instead, the committer is responsible for completing the paperwork themselves with permission from their employer. So the tone should be more like "what if I cannot (for whatever reason) complete the paperwork?"

Should we maybe try to split this question and have one for MCA and one for ICA?

-- What happens if I cannot convince my employer to fill out the paperwork?

The Eclipse Board of Directors has taken a firm position that if you are employed then you must meet one of the scenarios described above. If you cannot convince your employer to fill out the necessary paperwork, then you cannot have write-access to project resources. This is the Board’s position even if you are working on Eclipse projects on your own time. We realize that this prevents some talented and desirable people from being able to commit to the projects but this is our IP risk reduction strategy.
