I understand your point. And in fact I think the issue is not your contribution itself, but the future contribution from developers of RTEMS and Linux that are using GPL.
I think we have to be careful with the word "contribution". The ASF cannot accept any contribution that is licensed and copyrighted by some other entity. To "contribute" the code is to donate the code to the ASF without retaining any claims to it. Then the code belongs to the ASF and can be re-licensed as Apache 2.0 with the ASF copyright.
What you are talking about has to be treated as third party code that resides with the Apache NuttX code. It is not Apache NuttX code.
