In the past, when posting a patch, one could grant the license to ASF. That is choice is no longer available post jira upgrade. Since then, the only option I see is signing ICLA, to grant license for the contributed work. However, after doing a bit of research, I see that ICLA is not required. See the discussion - http://apache-database.10148.n7.nabble.com/No-more-license-check-box-after-Friday-td69039.html#a69040
So please ignore my earlier comment about ICLA as a MUST requirement.
