This is not a corporate "donation" of source code. And it was ALv2 from the start, in the ODF Toolkit Union, so there is no need to re-license it. Maybe handle this as part of the IP review? If we find any files that are not under ALv2 or a compatible license, then we need to get an SGA or remove that file.
