I'm not sure where this meme comes from, but an ICLA is only desired,
not required, for normal contributions [1]:
The ASF desires that all contributors of ideas, code, or documentation
to the Apache projects complete, sign, and submit (via postal mail, fax
or email) an Individual Contributor License Agreement (CLA). The purpose
of this agreement is to clearly define the terms under which intellectual
property has been contributed to the ASF and thereby allow us to defend
the project should there be a legal dispute regarding the software at
some future time. A signed CLA is required to be on file before an
individual is given commit rights to an ASF project.
As mentioned above, a CLA is only required for committers. Smaller
contributions are already covered by section 5 of ALv2 [2].

OK, cool. Just wanted to clear up potential misconceptions about this.

Sorry about that. I got that mixed up with our policy of not accepting
changes from anyone who didn't sign the ICLA. I think this is something
that we agreed on ourselves, not an Apache thing. I'll try and be more
clear in the future.
