It might be useful to discuss under what terms we are considering incorporating
this code.
http://www.apache.org/licenses/#provenance describes three types of code. If we
are preserving the original (alv2) license and copyright it's ok to
redistribute it with the original headers.
But if we are planning to change the headers to the standard Apache headers,
then IP provenance (with a corresponding a grant or CCLA) is needed and the
headers can then be changed.
Levigo already did all the work. They changed the license, the headers and the
java package names as well. They asked all contributors outside the core team
if they are ok with changing the license, see [1]
Changing the license is one thing. Changing the header is quite a different thing. The
Apache header states that the code is "licensed to Apache under one or more
contributor license agreements". This means that there is an ICLA, CCLA, or grant on
file from all contributors. It looks like @dbdr and @janpe2 agree to the license change
to aslv2 but we don't have an ICLA on file from them. Are these the only two contributors
at issue?
We don't have an ICLA from those two. Their contribution (@dbr [1] and @janpe2
[2], [3]) is limited to a few lines of code which won't require any ICLA if
those were contributions to PDFBox. Do we really require an ICLA from them?

If we don't have grants (ICLA, CCLA, grant) on file, then the license headers
should not be changed, And the Apache distribution needs to preserve the
copyrights of the original.
The change from the third party license header to the Apache license header
should really only be done here under Apache version control.

Levigo filed an SGA and we have 4 ICLAs from the core team on file:
- Jörg Henne (He is already an Apache Directory committer [2] and managing the
transfer)
- Matthäus Mayer
- Sebastian Holder (Levigo employee)
- Carolin Köhler (Levigo employee)
And we have a new CCLA on file for Carolin and Sebastian.
I hope this is the missing information you are looking for.

Andreas,
So I wanted to dig into the code base further before responding.
It seems like you've already done the work that is intended to be done once
the code is imported to an ASF repo. As a person outside the project, I
have no idea who 'hennejg' is other than matching a committer on file.
Likewise, I'm not sure their relationship to 'levigo holding GmbH' however
they were the copyright holder. Ideally we would want to see something
from that company indicating they are willing to license the code to the
ASF. Since the code was GPL previously, I believe we would expect one of
the two forms I mentioned to be filed. If we have an SGA, or we have some
confirmation that ICLAs are already on file for all of the contributors,
that would help here.

I can't find a grant on file that would convert the code from the prior
license to Apache v2. Were ICLA's filed by all contributors?
The SGA is about the version which is already ALv2 licensed. Just, do
avoid
misunderstandings, do you have any doubts that the relicensing wasn't
done
properly? Is some written proof necessary?
Maybe, [1] is what you are looking for

Hi,
the Apache PDFBox project has received a contribution of a JBIG2
ImageIO
plugin.
* The code is attached to PDFBOX-3906 [1]
* The IP Clearance form has been committed to the Incubator website.

* A vote has passed on the dev@pdfbox mailing list [3]
The clearance passes by lazy consensus if no -1 votes are cast within
