I think the terminology in the subject is wrong. You are not "moving a failed incubation project." That project is dead.
What you can do is to use the code in another project, and assume all responsibility to verify that the license in the code is correct.
What you can't do is to use the Apache brand for another project, meaning to use the package names including apache if it's not an Apache project.
And please be aware that the code might be tainted. Since it never left incubation, the code's provenance might never have been vetted. So you don't really know what you're getting, in terms of ownership, license, patent, etc. If you use the code you're responsible for making sure it's really ok.

Hi I want to move a failed incubation project (TSIK) to Google Code, but the source is full of org.apache.* packages, so I'm not sure what the right way to do this is. (The code would keep the same ASF 2.0 license.) Changing the package names will break any and all code, so if it'd be great if that's avoidable.
