I'd push back on needing a grant/CLA. It's a nice-to-have when the other code is AL 2.0 (or another category A license, but especially AL 2.0); it's not a requirement. If you've done your best, then doc that and move along. It does mean including that individuals name in the NOTICE probably. > In the concrete case much of the code is in "plugins" that can be simply > removed and/or rewritten.
