This is very interesting. For a long time i was wondering the same thing. Yet while i was editing some other top-level docs i found the Licence FAQ. Obviously i and others had overlooked it all this time. It was only linked from the http://www.apache.org/foundation/preFAQ.html#licence So yesterday i linked it into [1]. Hopefully it is now more obvious. The trouble was that i can't spell american so the link was broken, fixed now. We do still need a general Legal FAQ of course.
