The list is [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.apache.org/foundation/mailinglists.html#foundation-legal I searched the archives and found one mention of the license. Cliff is still formulating the FAQ document, but the discussion in that thread does not sound good. However, it is an old message and other discussions about the general ASF license situation have happened elsewhere since then. http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/www-legal-discuss/200510.mbox/ See the first in the list: "Plans for Apache Licensing Policy" We already have stuff under a W3C license: DTDs and RELAX NG. main/webapp/resources/schema/ lib/core/w3c-dtd-license.txt However, just because we already have it, that does not make it correct to distribute. I thought that it was at the time, but now not so sure. Anyway, i would prefer to wait for Cliff's FAQ doc which might be after the next Board meeting in late January. If someone really wants to get going sooner, then a specific question to legal-discuss@ might help. -David
