Based on the discussion under LEGAL-653, it seems that the only
requirement to migrate the repos under the Apache namespace is to
apply the AL2 license in the majority of the files in there.

I am looking for volunteers so that we can review the existing code in
those repo and apply the AL2 license where possible. Depending on how
many people step up we can divide the work accordingly.

It would be interesting to see if we can use RAT [1] to
automate/assist  in this process.

Best,
Stamatis
