Your ICLA does not cover code for which you as an individual are
not the copyright holder. Merely having license to *use* the code
is not sufficient to make license assignments to the project.
I think we have two possible paths forward:
1. The copyright owner signs an ICLA
2. The OMC votes to accept *this particular* code (which published
under a permissive license in an RFC, and widely used) without
an ICLA.
Perhaps 2 is the best way forward, but for the record the outcome
is not *automatic*. It requires an explicit decision to accept
the specific contribution in question.
