The issue has been brought up before so is a known issue. (See that discussion 
thread). Given that discussion I would of assumed that committers wouldn't 
check in plain text CC-BY-SA licensed content. But I guess people forget about 
it, I had even forgotten about that thread. If you where watching the commits 
it would be very easy to miss the file(s) in question as they also incorrectly 
had an ASF headers on them. But any PMC member or committer could of noticed 
this, the fact that no one did until now probably indicates how difficult it 
was to find. Perhaps it would be better to deal with licensing issues when they 
are raised or soon after - especially when a 3rd party doesn’t respond in a 
timely way?

BTW the legal JIRA about CC-SA content is here [1] not sure if you managed to 
find that when looking at the issue.

Thanks,
Justin
