Sorry for the top post. I have just one comment on this. Some projects use third-party source material and don't change the license. The sources are simply incorporated into the project.
I don't think we should use this model for any of the training content. All training materials in the project should be licensed to Apache. Which implies SGA or CCLA for materials owned by contributors who have not signed ICLA. This does not apply to content conversion tools. Some tasks, e.g. to convert from .html to .md files, might best be done by third party tools which we can use as long as they are licensed under a Category A license.
