ROTFLMHO..  So tell us how you really feel Roy.  :)  For what it's 
worth, I agree with you, especially for projects entering incubator.

decisions that the Incubator is not responsible for making.
The required IP clearance questions should be:

   Date:
   Identify the Contribution:
   Identify the Contributor(s):
   What are the filenames for the applicable
 software grant(s):
 Corporate CLA(s):
 Individual CLA(s):
   Location of initial import:
   Destination PMC:

That's it.

Licensing the artifacts, removal of dependencies, changing headers,
and checking for product trade names are all activities of the PMC
before a release is made, NOT before an import.  Committer access
is a responsibility of the destination PMC.  Prior distribution
rights are irrelevant.  Where on earth did this crap come from?

The template reads like a friggin nanny's club treatise on the
correct angle to wipe one's ass.  The only reason we have this
form is to record the connection between grant and initial commit.
Don't waste our time with anything else.

pretty much agree

the VOTE link is useful but maybe the incubator doesn't need to check
that a PMC is conducting it's affairs correctly. not clear how much
oversight the board expects the incubator to perform for IP
clearances.

dunno. stuff only gets fixed once someone notices it's wrong. it's CTR
so feel free to remove the cruft.

IMHO writing documentation is tough and it's hard to target the
audience correctly. probably an annotated template would work better
(if anyone has some spare cycles to implement).
