For reference, anywhere you consider you may need a code grant, or a
codebase has multiple authors, or anything is less obvious than
simply-CLA-covered, just go through
http://incubator.apache.org/ip-clearance/index.html
which is not really incubator-specific but something all PMCs have to
comply with (board resolution about that somewhere I believe). It's
really simple (fill out XML template, check in template) and involves
lazy consensus.
