And to be crystal clear, I do want to see the work go in: naked of patent restrictions. A CLA-C from the company that has commissioned the work would satisfy me or some binding statement that the contributions are distributable under terms compatible with the Open Source Definition. that includes field of use (commercial use).

... may I ask why you're demanding that this contribution has to endure a special, more restrictive, treatment? What's wrong in the ASF procedures to require additional burdens? I know, I know, this is Microsoft, but still I'd say that this could be a good test of current ASF best practices, and enforcing them would be more than enough.
