    hmmm ... I wasn't in Dublin, but can think of two proposed policies that
    might have been discussed.

    The first is Cliff Schmidt's proposed third-party license policy here:

    http://people.apache.org/~cliffs/3party.html

    The second is Cliff Schmidt gave legal-discus..a heads up about a
    proposed source file header change back in June [1]. I've been tracking
    what needs to be done -- I think -- for Derby on DERBY-1377 [2], and
    that issue has a bunch of pointers into the legal-discus..list which
    might be helpful. But I'm still waiting for Cliff Schmidt to send email
    to committer..

    If it's the new source header policy I don't think it has much, if
    anything, to do with obtaining ICLA's from cayenne contributors,
    including the emeritus contributors. btw, the post mentioning emeritus
    Cayenne contributors is at [3].

    I've been watching OFBiz in the Incubator because they have a similar
    situation. --Or at least I think it's OFBiz. I thought I saw recent
    Incubator traffic posting which specific code was tied to a contributor
    they couldn't locate, but I'm not readily spotting it. I'll hunt it down
    and post it when I find it.
