I suggest using the Apache contribution license agreements rather than Apache itself.

No, I'm just suggesting why not adopt a rule that all contributors (other than ARL -- though for the reasons others have stated I think this should also apply to ARL) license contributions under the Apache License 2.0.

As a few have pointed out, all code that is nominally licensed under open source licenses will contain noncopyrighted portions.
