Oops, sorry [1]. All of these links still say that you explicitly need to check a box assigning license to the ASF. That is not actually true: any code submitted through ASF infrastructure is assumed to have license assigned to the ASF, and the checkbox used to exist as a way not to assign license. The checkbox no longer exists. Anyway, I haven't seen any guidance yet that says we can accept pull requests without the contents of the patch also being attached to a ticket.
