## Project independence
While not all aspects of the Apache Way are practiced the same way by

One of these invariant rules is that projects are managed and used
independently of any commercial interests. The goal is to create an
environment 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
