I really would like to answer your questions, but I don't understand the
Apache licensing position. Its seems ad hoc and arbitrary to me, at
least for cases outside of the most mundane.
Perhaps we can get some direction from and Apache mentor?
Sorry,
Greg

That's unfortunate. Hopefully he is still reachable at that email.
What options should I present to him if I do get in touch with him?

Since no new files are allowed to come into the repo without ASF
licenses, I need some direction on how I should go about
re-licensing two of the files for this driver. The files in question
are
arch/arm/src/stm32f7/stm32_can.h -- This is only copyrighted by
Greg. Greg, do I have your permission to re-license this under the
new ASF license?
arch/arm/src/stm32f7/stm32_can.c -- In addition to Greg, this is
also copyrighted by Paul Alexander Patience from Omni Hoverboards
Inc. What steps do I need to take for this file?
You have my permission on that file where I am the sole copyright
holder. I have no idea what to do on the second. It cannot come
into the repository, but I have not heard from Paul Patience in years.
