Bulk of the committers and users of the Airavata incubator (including me) are from educational institutions and code donation and contributions are covered by CCLA and SGA signed by trustees of the university. We did process all the required paper work, it was non-trivial to navigate through the university beurocracy but not terribly hard. We have a good set of mentors and Champion who made our life easy - here is the full list http://incubator.apache.org/projects/airavata.html, we will be happy to share our experiences.
