(14 places for dot net) Can you NOT put a Copyright in there? Apache doesn't require copyrights to be given to Apache, the original authors maintain the copyrights. Thus, if there are any non-MS people that have contributed anything to that code, (might not be true right now, but lets hope the community expands and it gets there), then setting the Copyright to MS or Apache or anything really wouldn't be legally correct. Is there a place for an "AssemblyLicense"? It would definitely be good to get something about that in there. Also, if you could get "Apache Stonehenge - Incubator" in there someplace (maybe in the description), that would also be great.
