Hi Justin!

First, thanks for the review!

The question got asked as well while we started incubation. 

I'll try to quickly sum up the outcome:
No, we didn't get an official grant, but the RI is ALv2 and we actively asked 
the IBM devs/managers and they are perfectly fine with it. They even give 
feedback on JIRA and contributed patches later on. 

We are actively working together so to say.
But by not having a grant we cannot change the copyright for those files.


We have the (c) ASF header for stuff we wrote our own, and the (c) IBM header 
for stuff IBM wrote.Given this I think the header is fine, isn't?

LieGrue,
strub
