@MikeThomsen yes, this is fine from the standpoint of the IP.
A bit of background: I had developed this piece of code internally, at my
employer, which had to be pushed through _our_ open sourcing approval process.
After that was done, I had internal talks with our practice director regarding
contributing this back to NiFi and he confirmed this is to be done using the
standard NiFi ASF license: so technically it is me, the person, who makes this
contribution and not our organization.
