Asking author for ICLA/SGA means we can move on to apache, but it is not 
critical (assuming third-party license is compatible).
   
   #1 ("Get some approval/concurrence from the author") is something that 
Justin McClean said we needed to do when we first started this project.  I was 
always confused about that.  Justin said that is what they did on the MyNewt 
project.  I agree that it is not any kind of legal requirement but we were told 
that it the higher level of ethics the Apache projects were supposed to conform 
to.
   
   This is in the dev list archives somewhere, but I cannot find the discussion 
thread.
   
   Being an open, honest, ethical project is a good thing.  Our object is to 
benefit all people not to screw over other open source contributors.
