Hi, I may have subjected my code to Apache 2.0 license by mistake (i.e. without intending to do so). I had earlier written a code that was subject to Apache license and I meant it to be so. Subsequently, I have developed a separate license and while uploading it on a webstore, copied all information in the profile page of my earlier code (that included reference to Apache license). While I have referred Apache 2.0 license, have not included a notice, in the exact form, as prescribed under "APPENDIX: How to apply the Apache License to your work". Given the above, can I now retract all references to Apache 2.0 license or will my work be compulsorily subject to Apache license?
You can retract all references in copies that you control, but if anyone has taken advantage of the Apache license, they may still have a licence under the old terms. If that has happened, you need to consult a lawyer as to whether the licence was actually valid, and possibly also as to whether you could revoke it. Revoking licences is frowned upon in the open source community.
