Did the Zipkin project file an SGA? If no, the contribution is all ICLA based 
and you are correct.

If yes, then AFAIK Justin is correct, but there may be other edge cases.

Not every TLP may follow policy to the letter. Issues may have been missed in 
the past. A TLP may not have gone through the Incubator. You are free to 
examine the history of every project’s NOTICE file. If you do not accept the 
collective advice here and wish a ruling then you can ask the legal affairs 
committee at legal-disc...@apache.org by filing a LEGAL JIRA. But wait a bit to 
see. People who would answer there are as likely to answer here.

Regards,
Dave
