I don't know much about mustache, but as far as Squeasel goes, Cloudera doesn't own the copyright and thus can't contribute it. It's a fork of another project (Mongoose) which switched licensing to an incompatible one once we were already using it. Due to the license switch, we made a copy of the prior release that we were using and renamed it. But, the copyright still remains with the original authors, as far as I understand.
