AIUI it is ok and appropriate to have this using the Apache license. Its a similar case to as when we have the spec defined Java interfaces, eg [1] or [2].

IANAL...

Folks,

You are not at liberty to simply re-license some material that has been 
produced by others.

Either you should use the original license (the OSOA license in this case) OR you should make a request to the original copyright holders for permission to relicense the files.

In my opinion, the OSOA license is pretty liberal and should not cause any 
problems.


Yours,  Mike.
