Hi,
Everyone who contributes to Apache does so as an individual, and each
individual signs an icla.
If some other party owns the IP that is being contributed, the individual icla
explicitly states that the individual has the permission to contribute.
If the agency grants that permission, nothing else is needed. But if you want
to make that permission explicit, you can file a ccla that grants permission.
There are many government agencies that have employees who contribute to Apache
projects. I can put you in touch if you think that would help.
Regards,
Craig

Hello,
My Agency has several developers that plan to contribute to an Apache project.
We noticed the requirement for an ICLA to be signed by each contributor, yet
these developers do not have the authority to grant patent or copyright
licenses on behalf of the government. As an alternate solution, is it
acceptable for the person who has the authority to grant these IP rights sign
an ICLA on behalf of all developers which, thereby listing all government
contributors?
Thanks in advance for your assistance,
Karen
