I am starting a new open source project and would like to use the apache
licence for two reasons: the ability to use the code in commercial projects
and in the hope that one day it may get accepted as a Jakarta project. I
have a couple of questions as to how to apply the licence:
Does the full licence have to be included at the top of each file or can it
be included in the distribution with a smaller include at the top, like GPL?

Also can/how do you use you own copyright with that apache licence. All
examples I have looked at are copyright "Apache Software Foundation"? Is it
frowned upon to want to retain the copyright?
Is the header below OK ????
