As usual, the unresolved underlying issue is, how to get funding for FLOSS projects. Entitled cheapskates are nothing new; a generic solution to the issue, would be something new.

lol; Thanks Dave Kinne! /s
Note: This is from August. So it's been a while since then.

So they never got contribution from anyone else or is Apache not really copyleft?
- Apache isn't copyleft, not sure why you thought it was
