Git is a free software volunteer project and as such, it has no "executive staff" in the sense enterprises put into it. Can you maybe state your actual goals please? Say, if you're looking for commercial support, we could possibly suggests a couple of pointers. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

My team and I would be glad to come up with cross-marketing activities between Devart and Git. We think that some users of our development products would be interested to switch to Git version control system.

Thus there is no need to ask permission and there does not on the git side exist any entity interested in "cross marketing activities". If your want to use git in your products, you are free to do so without asking, and if you need technical advice for how to go about integrating git in your products, you can either ask here, on stackoverflow, (and probably lots of other places) or hire a consultant that can help you.

As one of Software Freedom Conservancy projects, I suspect that the Git PLC git@sfconservancy.org may be the closest to such "entity" that represents open source Git community's interest to the outside world with help from lawyers. Not that I think Git PLC is interested in such a cross marketting arrangement, but if Devart wants to advertise on their webpage saying "we support Git by making contributions to SFC" or something like that, they are the people to talk to. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
