+## Project Independence
+
+While not all aspects of the Apache Way are practiced the same way by
+all projects at the ASF, there are a number of rules that Apache
+projects are required to follow â things like complying with PMC
+[release voting][1], [legal policy][2], [brand policy][3],
+using [mailing lists][4], etc., which are [documented in various places][5].
+
+One of these invariant rules is that projects are managed and used
+independently of any commercial interests. The goal is to createan
+environemnt in which all participants are equal and thus have an equal
+opportunity to contribute to and benefit from our software, regardless
+of motivation or financial objectives. This is discussed in more detail
+in our document [Project Independence][6].
