Hi Gavin,
You may find the answers you need here: http://www.apache.org/licenses/
In particular, that page points at a useful FAQ:
http://www.apache.org/foundation/licence-FAQ.html The FAQ addresses the
issue of using the Apache license for your own code. The FAQ also has a
very useful summary section titled "I'm not a lawyer. What does it all
MEAN?". The FAQ page ends with the following paragraph:
"If you have a question specifically about the Apache license or
distribution of Apache software, and it has not been answered by this
page, you may send a message to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> requesting
clarification. Note: If you send a question that is answered by the
information on this page your message may be IGNORED."
Hope this helps,
-Rick

If I write another piece of software using some code from apache derby, and
license the derivative work under Apache license; what do I need to add in
the header of the source code ?
What I am thinking of doing:
a) Include the original license file from the source file.
b) Include as comments, a description of the changes made e.g. change
package address to my local package.
Is this sufficient? Did I violate anything?
Thanks
