Copyright is an attribution of creation. When you create something the copyright comes into being. For example as of now I hold the copyright on this message. (This is why publishing letters written by someone else is legally tricky). I can assign the copyright to someone else if I wish. License is what I say you can do with material I have the copyright on. And now we get into what others can do with my copyrighted material. Under the Apache v2 license grant `a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of, publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.` Thus once I put code I authored (copyright) out under the Apache v2 license other can do anything they like with it. Even though I have given anyone the right to do anything with it, it is still my code (copyright). The Apache Foundation does not require the transfer of the copyright, it requires that you provide your code to Apache under the Apache v2 license so that Apache may do with it as it pleases. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
