Again, sorry, but the legal department has commanded us to do this. I'm just
trying to comply with their instructions, but also answer reasonable questions,
and your help is appreciated.
I'm caught in the conflict of wanting to answer your question:
"Would you care to explain how you'd like exceptions to be displayed?"
and the fact that all information sent to Apache is deemed by Apache to be a
contribution unless otherwise stated, therefore the legal department has
required us to put "NOT A CONTRIBUTION" on things sent to Apache.
I believe legal's concern comes from the following definition in the Apache 2.0
License.
"Contribution" shall mean any work of authorship, including
the original version of the Work and any modifications or additions
to that Work or Derivative Works thereof, that is intentionally
submitted to Licensor for inclusion in the Work by the copyright owner
or by an individual or Legal Entity authorized to submit on behalf of
the copyright owner. For the purposes of this definition, "submitted"
means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent
to the Licensor or its representatives, including but not limited to
communication on electronic mailing lists, source code control systems,
and issue tracking systems that are managed by, or on behalf of, the
Licensor for the purpose of discussing and improving the Work, but
excluding communication that is conspicuously marked or otherwise
designated in writing by the copyright owner as "Not a Contribution."
So, it is due to Apache's License that we are instructed to do what we do.
(Personally, I don't know what rights we have to things posted publicly if we
are rejecting the covering of Apache's License to them. But I'll just continue
to follow their instructions.)

Agreed.
I'd like to continue this conversation, can we forgive the occasional legalese?
Thanks,
