Thanks again Nathan. Looking at the FAQ you pointed me is actually ambiguous what should I have to do. It seems that I have to include the whole LICENSE in every redistribution, so I should give a copy of license at every user who downloads my application package (and that is impossible due to the medium we are using - application packages), or I should include the WHOLE license somewhere in the application? Reading the license itself doesn't help much. Should I post this on another, more law-ish ASF mailing list?
