I'm going to post this to the site since we seem to be comfortable,
and any misconceptions due to my lack of clarity seem to be taken
care of.
Please bellow if there is anything else...

Ok - we gotten some good feedback on this. I'd like to emphasize
that these changes really are for what I hope are corner cases,
because any contribution for which the contributor has all the ACQs
(like the 3 we have already), these new questions aren't asked.
The following is the same proposal with the keyword scan question
removed (I'll move that to the contribution guidelines page), the
suggestion pointing out BlackDuck by name also changed (maybe we
offer a list of entities that could help potential contributors on
our website?).
Also, I saw Zoe's note offering her keyword scanner software
(although I missed the note because of our mail problems), and I'm
all for it. Zoe, if you can just put it in a JIRA, that would be
great. If there's anyone interested in working on this kind of
software for our use (and the ASF use), step up and we can make a
little subproject out of it...

to provide clear and consistent oversight of the project codebase, as
well as encourage our contributors to carefully examine their
contributions before bringing to the project.

[ ] Yes
[ ] No
If "no", the code isn't eligible for the Harmony Project.
If "yes", please provide short description of the process,
focusing on protections related to third party intellectual
