@glenjamin we are asking if you and the other contributors agree to the Terraform codebase being re-licensed and donated to the Apache CloudStack project under the opensource APLv2 (https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0). That's all. TBH I don't know what should happen on any disagreements. In practice, I would see this as a mere formality as Sander the original author and owner of the repository has already submitted ICLA and his software grants to the ASF. I thought that was enough but folks on the mailing lists suggested we should make an attempt to ask all/major contributors to the codebases being donated. The background of the initiative is that the Terraform provider was archived and no longer maintained/released, and the ACS project/community (who effectively are the users of the projects with CloudStack) want to go forward with this initiative for users and contributors to continue to develop, maintain and release (a) under the APLv2 license and (b) by the wider Apache CloudStack community. I'm not a legal expert but from what I understand as a layperson moving anything to Apache license would no longer require modifications to be shared. I'm not sure what conditions were/are applicable with the previous license. Hope this helps.
