The Jena developers are aware of this and have undertaken to do what is required in meetings with myself as Champion.  Can one of the Jena team please add a note to this effect in the proposal in order to remove any doubt about this.

Done.  The text added says:

[[
The initial committers overtake to resolve all IP and copyright issues 
that concern the dependencies of the initial source and of any 
contributions in accordance with Apache requirements for graduating from 
incubator status.

All contributions to the Jena codebase are under BSD-style license.  The 
majority of copyright is held by HP. Some copyright is held by others, 
as noted in the codebase. This includes contributions from the initial 
committers below and any other contributions.
]]

At this point, any of the Jena initial committers can revise that text 
otherwise lazy consensus applies.

PS We recently removed a dependency on json.org code.  I know Apache 
allows it but some organisations found that license difficult to work with.
