Since this code is under ALv2, we can import it to the ASF under that license. We have always done stuff like this, including other permissive licenses. But this isn't simply importing a library, this is saying "the ASF is now the primary locus of development for >this< code." And that's where people can say, "woah. I hate you guys. don't develop my code there", and so we nuke it. SGA/iCLA is to give us rights that we otherwise wouldn't have (ie. the code was under a different license). Cheers, -g
