I'd like to move everything in our contrib/ directory to the new

As many might know, I've been on a personal crusade to stop the
Subversion project from being a source code hosting system. In the
early days, when it was useful for people to have a collection of
Subversion-related scripts, contrib/ was valuable, but with search
engines and hosting providers, it seems redundant for us to continue
hosting contrib/. Because of the variety of licensing situations, we
don't even ship it anymore.
As one of the people that was opposing your crusade :) , I'm OK with the
move if we can host projects with non-Apache licenses. I don't recall
reading if that's possible or not?
The official announcement said:
"As projects on the new Google-hosted service will not be managed by The
Apache Software Foundation, participants are allowed to use whatever
license and project management process they desire."
Nevertheless the Apache License is recommended, e.g. it would ease the
move into the incubator.
