I don't think there is any confidentiality of the following information.

The original CCLA from LinkedIn has this:

<verbatim>Schedule B
Samza: a system for processing stream data from publish-subscribe systems such 
as Apache Kafka. The developer writes a stream processing task, and executes it 
as a Samza job. Samza then routes messages between stream processing tasks and 
the publish-subscribe systems that the messages are addressed to.
</verbatim>

LinkedIn's legal department comments are sufficient for me to clear this 
donation:

LI counsel on open source matters: "Hello-samza is ancillary to Samza and
thus fits within a broadly interpreted Exhibit B to the original Samza
CCLA.  In other words, it's already covered, with no legal need for a new
CCLA.  Also worth noting that we're the donor of both Samza and
hello-samza, so a key problem that would be resolved by having the
separate, new CCLA (i.e. substantial donation of code by a different
company) is actually a problem we do not have."
