I'm not a lawyer but this is my understanding of how it works.

When you donate a large amount of code like this to Apache, you are
giving it to us to license under the APL as part of Maven itself.  You
cannot change the license nor can you put additional stipulations on
distribution or usage of the code (e.g. free advertising for the
donating company).
