You still hold the copyright to your own version of the sources, you can do with them whatever you want. No, I'm not a lawyer, but it is not illegal for a German non-lawyer to tell you what I've seen as practice in similar situations in other projects ;-) Just make sure you don't trip over trademark issue, i.e. don't call your code Apache JULI or something like that. > The project will be published under the Apache 2.0 license.
