   @glynnbird FYI, any new code to be brought under an ASF repository (and thus ownership) directly must go through the code clearance process as outlined here:
   
       https://incubator.apache.org/guides/ip_clearance.html
   
   It's not just a matter of "they licensed it AL v2.0 so we can just bring it into our repo." That may be true of dependencies (we can depend on compatibly licensed code with no extra paperwork) but it's not true when that code is going to live in our repositories.
   
   Now, that said, if Cloudant people have "maintained out" most of the original developers' changes, i.e. "git blame" doesn't show their contributions as still being in place, then we can waive that process under the outstanding Cloudant CCLA + jhs's outstanding ICLA. You'll need to do the legwork here to ensure that is the case.
