This is a dead end - we don't ask JUnit to sign anything, we don't ask
Linux kernel hackers just to be users. Using under license and
redistributing is something we do all over the place and just because
this is our license (but not our code) doesn't change anything.

I'm not saying they need to prove it, but if we have a code grant on
hand (which states that they have the rights to license/donate the
code I would assume), then we have a bit more of a paper trail. But,
if you insist that it's not necessary, I trust you. You seem to have
a better grasp on this

No, not everyone has the right to license their code with the Apache
License. If they work for a company and their contract states that
