@royfielding - thank you for taking the time to respond to this thread. First off - I want to emphasize that we in no way intended to waste the time of ASF Legal, nor that of any other ASF community members. Our intent was only to ensure we are doing the right thing for the ASF. The Apache Arrow community and ASF Legal has been extremely patient and supportive throughout this process, and we sincerely appreciate everyone's support. Perhaps, the follow up question about the "general case" that we asked to ASF Legal was in some way not clear enough. I would like to explicitly clarify that our intent was in no way to ask ASF Legal for clarification on the terms of the Apache V2 license itself. Nor were we in any way trying to question whether we can rely on the terms of the license. We were specifically seeking clarification on whether the ASF was OK with the fact that the proprietary MathWorks bits that would be distributed via the ASF are not normally licensed under the Apache V2 license in the "general case". We asked this follow up question specifically because we wanted to address Kou's earlier comment to the best of our ability. We thought Kou's question was a very reasonable one, and we didn't want to merge in these changes prematurely. That being said, we appreciate you providing assurance that we can move ahead with merging in these changes. Thanks again for sharing your expertise.
