The question is: can a committer revoke the Apache License from a
contribute?
I expect yes, but it still can be used, because revocation should apply
for the future and not for the past.

Hi Davide and Dave;
Just to clarify, withdrawing a change is not generally something that is
viable. and
this doesn’t seem to be the case of someone changing it’s mind about
contributing.
What appears to have happened is that the author doesn’t own the code he wrote.
This is standard industry
We can see this a different way. If a developer wants to contribute to Apache
OpenOffice then the only clear place is here and under the Apace License.
I call that software freedom.

Dave
