Contributions to Apache-licensed software are under the terms of the
license by default:

http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html#contributions

The only purpose of the checkbox was to permit folks to attach things
that were *not* intended to be contributions.  The same thing can be
accomplished without the checkbox by stating in a comment that the
attachment is not intended for contribution.
