IMHO (warning: not necessarily the legal view of Apache),

If you are just using the jars as libraries, you can release your project under a license of your choice, Apache license is not viral.

If you take sourcecode from Apache, alter it, and/or include it into your project, that sourcecode (and only that sourcecode) needs to maintain the Apache license headers. You will also probably want to include information at the root of your project that it contains modified Apache licensed code.

Hi,

I have written a web application, that uses some
commons libraries.

Can I release this web application under the GPL
(LGPL?) or do I have to use the apache license as
well?

Thanks,
Jürgen
