By extracting the commit logs you can obtain a list of all committers to the
FtpServer codebase. They are;
hammant - Paul Hammant - original contributor, 18 commits from
2003-March to 2005-Sept
ngn - Niklas Gustavsson - current active committer, 330 commits
from 2006-Jan until present day.
nicolaken - Nicola Ken Barozzi - 3 commits in 2003-April
noel - Noel Bergman - Applied one patch from user in 2005-10-21
rana_b - Rana Battacharyya - 195 commits from 2003-April to 2006-July
sergey - Sergey M Vladimirov - 13 commits in 2006-May
Then by looking into the private SVN repository there is a comprehensive list
of which committers DO NOT have ICLA on file (from time prior to CLAs);
Result= None of the above are listed in this file, and hence all should have
ICLAs files with the ASF.

Ceki is an Apache Member and have made substantial contributions to the ASF,
mostly in form of the Log4J project. SLF4J is not in ASF due to licensing.
Ceki wanted to create an API that both GPL/LGPL and BSD/MIT/Apache licensed
projects could use, and hence had to host that elsewhere.
Also, feel free to contact Ceki directly to ensure his intents.
In my personal opinion, FtpServer has very little legal issues. ASF takes the
legal aspects of Open Source *very* seriously, and this project will soon
graduate to a proper Apache project to reflect this.
