I’m sorry but an entity can’t donate code that it doesn’t own the IP in. It’s is unfortunate that this issue wasn’t discovered at the time of donation or in previously releases, but sometimes that happens and that’s part of being an incubating project and one reason why we have a disclaimer on incubating releases. The good news it is it’s under a license compatible with the ALv2, so there isn’t a big issue here, it just needs to be dealt with in the appropriate way. Kind Regards, Justin
