Good points. I agree that Apache could be made safer from submarine IP by making the validation process for ICLA-only signators stricter. The question becomes "How strict is too strict?"
I've proposed asking that a CCLA be required from everyone with an employer specifically to protect the employee as well as the ASF, to prevent accidentally (or intentionally) submarining IP into a project.
I realize that this is an additional burden for contributors and the foundation, but... ("SCO, anyone?")
The JCP is also looking at this issue as there is a real fear there that IP will be contributed accidentally by an individual that would put the implementors and users of a spec (as well as the spec) at risk.
