If the license headers were previously unclear (per your comments below, I'm not aware of the specifics of this case), then having the copyright owner(s) resubmit in line with current ASF header policy (if they're so inclined) is a good thing IMO. Unless its to be treated as third party works, which still needs compatible licensing.
The other question is who exactly is the copyright owner? The headers say the NanoContainer Organization, but is that really a legal entity?
<snap/> The original author(s) should know (could be any combination of these authors, employers and affiliations at the time of producing the works, based on agreements in place at the time). -Rahul
