A quick glance through code shows MPL/GPL/LGPL triple-licensed files. I know we can depend on MPL code but I have no idea if that means it can live in the repository or not. A quick google and I can't find anything that specifically states whether it can or can't.
I appreciate that this was developed with the intention that it'd be contributed back to the ASF and that's the only reason I didn't immediately veto it. But there's 500,000 lines in this commit. That's awfully significant to throw in without warning or discussion even if it is on a branch. In the end, I of course defer to your judgement. I just wanted to stress the seriousness of IP clearance on such a gigantic push.
