Apache license (invariant section)
Hi all, Can anyone tell me if the Apache license allows, for a document, the creation of invariant sections, like the GFDL, to require the presence of these sections in all derived versions. On the Contributors page of a document, I would like to include people who contributed, with their name, email, website and a short advertising message describing their activities. I want to protect and enforce this page that it is reproduced in all derived versions of the original document. Is this possible and if so, how the text of the Apache 2.0 license should it be formulated? Many thanks Regards, -- gw

Well ... Instead of changing the license to suit your wishes I would suggest using another Category-A license for your contribution: ASL 1.1, for example. best regards, Pedro. --- Mar 22/5/12, Guy Waterval waterval@gmail.com ha scritto: Hi all, Can anyone tell me if the Apache license allows, for a document, the creation of invariant sections, like the GFDL, to require the presence of these sections in all derived versions.

Idem for the rest of the informations. They would have the liberty to choice which informations, advertising message or not, they give. -- gw

It's only possible if you change the license and then it wouldn't be the Apache license. That is there is no built in mechanism to do this.
