IANAL, but it might be tricky to get it donated without going back and
asking the author of every change for permission.
It appears that FlexMojos is already under Apache license. Was it always
under Apache? This may mean that any contributors should know they are
granting certain rights to their code.
However, if your goal is not to actually work on it, but borrow parts of it
for your new Apache Flex Maven code, it might be already allowed by the
Apache license. I think you may have to do it by copying from where it
lives now and not copy entire files into our SVN. But we should make sure
of that before you start doing that.
