Thanks, that email link satisfies my curiosity and any hint of concerns.

The contributors are all (sub)contractors of Dremio, who were retained to
work on this project. I checked with the lead author (Kyle Porter) and he
confirmed all IP is with Dremio, who filed the software grant - is that what
we're looking to confirm? A CCLA was not filed with Apache, as we followed a
similar process to a prior grant from Dremio [1]. Unless you mean the agreement
between the contributors and Dremio?

clarity is the relationship of Dremio to the contributions. I know my own
employer has boilerplate legal claims on any open source work I do using
company equipment or during "working hours" but there is also a process to
allow/approve contributions.

in the CCLA?

was submitted in 2022).
