Jeremy,
Glad to see that the policy page covers code like the stuff associated
with the SCA & SDO specs:
-----
Treatment of Third-Party Works
0. The term "third-party work" refers to a work not submitted
directly to the ASF by the copyright owner or owner's agent.
1.
2. Do not modify or remove any copyright notices or licenses within
third-party works.
3. Do ensure that every third-party work includes its associated
license, even if that requires adding a copy of the license from the
third-party download site into the distribution.
4. Do not add the standard Apache License header to the top of
third-party source files.
5. Minor modifications/additions to third-party source files should
typically be licensed under the same terms as the rest of the rest of
the third-party source for convenience.
Major modifications/additions to third-party should be dealt with
on a case-by-case basis by the PMC.
-----
Makes it clear that you can include such code - and that you leave alone
the existing headers and license.
Yours, Mike.

Subject: Finally posted: src file header and copyright policy
Hey legal-discuss folks,
I've finally posted the "Source Header and Copyright Notice Policy":
http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html.
It's pretty much the same thing I sent to this list a few weeks ago,
plus a FAQ that summarizes the follow-on discussion we had.
As I've mentioned before, my plan is to finish up the other two pieces
and send an email to committers@ with links to all three legal pages.
There's a good possibility I'll have these other two done in the next
couple days, but I thought I'd put this out for legal-discuss review
since it is ready now.
Let me know if you see anything in there that doesn't make sense.
Cliff
