Hrm, umm, so what's the difference between this, and oh I don't know, some other library I pick up as a TLP off Google code who claims their source is ASLv2 licensed? I have no guarantee over there that the license issues are resolved either, yet we do that all the time over here in Apache? So, I don't agree with your point.
