Thanks Ben, but I am a bit confused:

This contradicts "The above [Apache-2.0] license applies to all contributions 
after 2017-12-01"

This contradicts "The above BSD License Applies to all code, even that also 
covered by Apache 2.0." -- there is no code licensed by Apache-2.0 only in this 
project.

And this relies on the two previous points.
