My take on the Apache licensing rules is that we cannot accept this if it
has other copyrights in it:
```
If the source file is submitted with a copyright notice included in it, the
copyright owner (or owner's agent) must either:
* remove such notices, or
* move them to the NOTICE file associated with each applicable project
release, or
* provide written permission for the ASF to make such removal or relocation
of the notices.
```
If Mr. Anderson would provide the ASF with written permission to move the
copyright statements into a NOTICE.md file within lib/cl that would be
sufficient for inclusion in the project.
