I can give you the schema. The package names don't matter. The easy case is if there is some person or corporation who owns the copyright and is willing to execute an SGA to grant the code to the foundation. If that's the case, it's all straightforward, we as a PMC do the 'IP Clearance' dance. The hard case is where there is no such entity, but the license is compatible with the AL. In this case, we can ask legal for approval in picking up 'abandoned' code. The impossible cases are when neither of the above apply, and the code has a non-compatible license, or when there is copyright holder who is not willing to grant. At least some of this code is marked with a copyright of the Codehaus and an Apache License. So the Codehaus could execute a grant and that would be simple.
