Since https://github.com/ursacomputing/arrow-cookbook is "outside the Arrow community", having the contributors to this repository sign ICLAs would be a good practice before moving the code to an Apache repository. Since this codebase isn't very old and we probably won't be making official ASF releases of this project, the formal IP clearance process is likely not necessary. We don't need ICLAs from normal contributors into Apache repositories.
