   Hasn't Dave already provided an ICLA?
   
   I recall Justin McClean saying that an ICLA is not required for a single file or for small changes.  The ICLA would transfer Copyrights to the ASF (not me).  I am no attorney, but believe that Dave is fully within his rights to re-assign the Copyright in this way.
   
   Since I have provided an SGA, would it make sense to go directly to the Apache header?  Or is it better to leave the history trail of copyrights:  Dave -> Me -> ASF?  I think the latter.
   
   @jerpelea I will leave the final merge decision to you.  I would support the merge because there are gray areas and "it is easier to be forgiven than to get permission."
