Hello,
I have studied Google CLG ("Contributor License Grant") documents
provided by Dan.<http://source.android.com/license/individual-contributor-license---android-open-source-project> <http://source.android.com/license/corporate-contributor-license---android-open-source-project> It seems that the "Project leads and [...] recipients of software distributed by the Project Leads [..] get the patent license". How can we prove that Apache is the recipient of software distributed by the Project Leads? Thanks.
