The AL2 does not assign copyright, it grants a license. The ASF has a policy to not take software regardless of the license = unless the copyright holder grants it. By signing the ICLA you have indicated that you have permission from the = copyright holder to make any contributions that you make. For Apache OpenOffice the code from Oracle's SGA was checked in and a = project committer who works for Oracle changed all the license headers. = They also assigned the trademarks.
