Note that I am just a random person, not a board member, not a formal<br>
incubator committee member, and not even an osgeo charter member.<br>

I do not have any examples at hand. Basically an open source project<br>
should operate more or less without regard to contributor's<br>
affiliations. As usual, my opinion, unclear the extent to which the<br>
larger osgeo community agrees.<br>
<br>
However, I would suggest that if you have in place processes about how<br>
contributions are accepted, and a clear policy on true open source vs<br>
open-core or proprietary relicensing, and it's just not written down,<br>
then describing reality should be easy.<br>
<br>
If there is no track record of contributions from people outside your<br>
company, then I would say you are not ready for incubation. Again just<br>
my opinion.<br>
