Hello, What is the issue with https://github.com/apache/incubator-taverna-server/blob/master/taverna-server-usagerecord/src/main/java/org/ogf/usage/JobUsageRecord.java since it has the Apache header? Is it the class it extends that is the problem - org.ogf.usage.v1_0.UsageRecordType or the XSDs that it uses?
For the usage record XSD I found https://www.ogf.org/documents/GFD.98.pdf. In section 18 it has a feel free to use but don't change type copyright notice. Since we have no reason to change it and it puts no restrictions on its use or the terms of the Apache Licence (I believe - go on I dare you to ask legal) I think it is ok under the category-b weak copyleft type license. So maybe it just needs added to NOTICE.
