If that the case it very unlikely it could even be used in an Apache project, so I can’t see how there could be a future discussion or vote on which approach is better if it doesn’t have a comparable license. Unless that it, the publisher agreed to relicenses it. BTW this is not impossible one of the most draconian contract I ever signed was with a publisher, but I still managed to get them to agree to make all of the code available under an Apache license, otherwise no one would be able to use for anything useful until 70 years after my death. Thanks, Justin
