There may be cases where you are invited to share private information for various purposes, and denote that information as such. In those cases, we commit to only disclosing that information without your permission upon receipt of a valid subpoena and following notice from The ASF to you.

Is that really true that we only accept contributions that are
"expressly licensed"?
What does "expressly" mean here?

To me that means I would have to accompany each contribution with an
explicit license grant.
However AFAIK that is not how we operate - for example patches on
Bugzilla and JIRA, patches in e-mails etc.
