That is one of the reasons why I am discussing this here from an Apache
codebase and license point of view I am pretty sure I am clear here (I
also will bring this to legal tomorrow), but I am still not sure if I
can commit the code due
to the stance some of the contributing companies have regarding code.
My personal point of view for now is this:
a) bring this discussion to legal
b) commit the code - if legal gives its ok, if someone thinks it is
infringing (which i doubt) we still can rip it out

The only concern I have is that my company considers a person
"contaminated" if they've been exposed to some other code base and
therefore any code written by that person carries the risk of
infrigement (i.e., if you saw a company's code for class X and write
your own implementation of X without looking at their code ever again,
you could remember things you saw and your implementation could
subsequently copy parts of their code with literally being a copy). I
would be careful.
