The Apache licen(c|s)e makes the code available for any use as long as due
credit is given.
No reference is given to availability of the source code of the
modifications.
If you modify Apache licen(c|s)e code, you can keep the modifications for
yourself, as long as you give due credit.
If the code is to ask to become an Apache project, the source code *must* be
Apache licen(c|s)e 1.1.
If not, it can be still used by FOP as a jar if the licen(c|s)e permits its
distribution with Apache software-code.
