In short -by giving the ASF board and users confidence that they can use our

And if you miss something it easy enough to fix. As people know know this may 
be an issue someone should see it when it is checked in.

My track record is actually better than your's Alex. But why bring that up for 
a trivial change like this when it very clear what is required by ASF legal 
policy?

How does a trivial obvious change do that? They only issue here seems to be you 
opposition to it and not letting people just get on and do things.

Given there enough PMC members who agree with the change and you have stated 
you will not veto it I’ll go ahead and make the change and this unnecessary  
discussion can be ended.

Thanks,
Justin
