To keep things simple, the ASF is often reluctant to handle special cases - you probably know that foundation has to oversee about 300 projects on a relatively small budget [1] - currently less than $5K per project per year. So we do require some consistency to make things easier. The Apache License is one of those invariants. Also, if our sample code turns into the next Google, we want to be credited for that - it's the only thing we'd get ;-) -Bertrand [1] https://www.apache.org/foundation/records/minutes/2017/board_minutes_2017_04_19.txt - "Approve the 2018 FY ASF Budget"
