If you have doubts after reading this, then we should contact Apache Legal
as only they can give the official ruling.
But I think as long as you give attribution in the NOTICE file and include
the CC_NC_SA license and the Adobe modifications in the LICENSE file (see
[1]), you do not need explicit permission. Apache Legal has ok'd CC_SA
licensed works but they did not explicitly ok the NC license (see [2]). I
thought the NC part was a deal-breaker [3], but then Adobe overrides that in
their modifications [4].
