ICLA's would be nice, but not required, and adding a NOTICE indicating the origination of parts of it would also be nice but not required. - The code for the Takari Maven Plugin is EPLv1 and requires an SGA to change the license to apache license. I'd recommend the Maven PMC take this back and decide if importing just the wrapper is enough.
