Hi,
Look fine to me, no binary files, source code has headers.
BTW your LICENSE is referring to dependancies (including a EPL license one) rather than what is bundled inside the repo (which strangely are not mentioned), but that’s not an IP clearance issue.
Thanks,
Justin

Then other than verifying new license headers are in place, as needed,
you're good to go.
(and I only looked after that a SGA was filed, so sorry for making that
ambiguous)

A software grant document
(https://www.apache.org/licenses/software-grant.txt) from Hortonworks has
already been filed with secretary@apache.org, and has been ack-ed.

All,
the Board approved Apache Zest (now Polygene) to go straight to TLP about 2
years ago. Part of the decision was the question; "What benefit will
incubation have for the community?", and since we had exclusively Apache
members on the initial project, operated with an ASF mindset before coming
to ASF, we had no good answer for that particular question. Follow up on
that was to have a "provisional TLP" (proposed by Greg Stein, I think), a
self-inflected restriction, and the Board asked "What benefit for the
project does that bring?".
I think more projects have done this since then, but not sure...
So, end of the day; Place a Resolution in front of the Board, accompanied
(a priori) with motivation why incubation is not beneficial to the
community, and you have a good shot at go straight to TLP.

Check the archives for "Straight to TLP" discussions. I thought it was
possible these days.

Given the LICENSE currently has issue do you think this project could go straight to TLP?
Thanks,
Justin

All of the developers are coming from the Apache community (mainly Hadoop
and related), so the intention from day-1 was to go through incubation. I
guess nobody bothered with putting license headers for the company because
of the eventuality.
On a separate note, I wish there was a fast-track for these kind of
projects which can start internally in Apache without too much of a hassle.

I'm pretty sure I brought this up on legal-discuss before. Its not
incorrect, but they are openly giving access to the code to the ASF. The
ASF can choose to ignore that license if they want.

Perhaps a silly question. I expected the initial commit to be ALv2 but not licensed to the ASF. Can you license something to the ASF without permission?

Please note that IP Clearance is not for new projects, it is for code
donations. In this case, we would expect an SGA from Hortonworks, or
nothing since the project is already Apache licensed.
Even going as far back as the first commit, it was licensed to the Apache
Software Foundation -
