Alex has it right, and it's important to remember that the ASF never
asks for copyright assignment of code; we only ask for an SGA grant or a

License v2.0.
Alex, thanks a bunch -- this was super helpful.
re-thank you to everyone else who chimed in as well!

Exactly ... just bring the work into the ASF under its ALv2 license. You
don't need permission from (all) contributors to use the software under

individual contributed. So, IMO, if you are convinced this individual and
his employer knew his contributions were placed under the Apache License
you could gamble and accept his contributions. If you get an objection
