Why would the ASF be unwilling to unambiguously state that the software is available under an open source license?

If you have a question for the ASF, then why don't you ask them? They have a legal discussion mailing list where you are free to ask them about what an SGA means. But I do know that they value transparency and would probably not be keen on answering questions on pay-walled websites from anonymous posters.

Boy, you just never miss a chance to snipe at your critics, do you?

It is hard to believe you do not know the above poster, nor his contributions to the community, or good will in asking the question.

Were you always such a darling, or it's only the last few years that made you so unpleasant a person?
