See license-faq http://www.apache.org/foundation/licence-FAQ.html#WhatDoesItMEAN "You may distribute the result under a different licence, but you need to acknowledge the use of the Foundation's software."
<snippet> Q: I've made improvements to the Apache code; may I distribute the modified result? A: Absolutely -- subject to the terms of the Apache licence, of course. You can give your modified code away for free, *or sell it*, or keep it to yourself, or whatever you like. Just remember that the original code is still covered by the Apache licence and you must comply with its terms. Even if you change every single line of the Apache code you're using, the result is still based on the Foundation's licensed code. *You may distribute the result under a different licence, but you need to acknowledge the use of the Foundation's software.* To do otherwise would be stealing. If you think your changes would be found useful by others, though, we do encourage you to submit them to the appropriate Apache project for possible inclusion. </snippet> Hope that helps -TR > -----Original Message----- > From: plug bert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, December 18, 2003 8:50 PM > To: Jetspeed Developers List > Subject: Re: RE : newbie: apache license question > > > Hello! > > A good day to you.
