I thought there was a "rule" that Apache projects don't "take" code, regardless of license. IOW, that every line code must be "donated" to the ASF via SGA or CLA. That would imply that unless the contributors for every line of code in the incoming the code base have documented their donation, that the code base will need documentation (via LICENSE and maybe comments in the files and headers) as to what AL code remains third-party and which is officially part of the ASF project. Sure, the fact that the code is under AL lets you include and modify, but I think that without such documentation that code is "bundled" and third-party. I thought the default is that it isn't "included" and they need to state that it is ok for it to be "included". Otherwise, there's a pile of Google Code and GitHub projects I'm going to grab for my project.
