License name
Hi List,
I'm looking for a short name (abbreviation) for 'Apache License, Version
2.0'. Does something like that exist?
Background: There are fields called 'LICENSENAME' in
trunk\main\instsetoo_native\util\openoffice.lst which currently are set
to 'LGPL' and I want to replace those. I'm also investigating where
these are used, but something short without spaces may be needed.
Comments appreciated!
Sincerely,
Armin

I'd recommend using the OSI / SPDX abbreviations:
http://www.opensource.org/licenses/alphabetical
Which is: Apache-2.0
Otherwise, I would use just use "AL", I think.

Hi,
I'll use 'ALv2' now, thanks for the suggestions!

Not to muddy the waters, but I see "ALv2" a lot and I tend to use it myself after seeing it so often.
If "apache-2.0" fits and it is the designation used by the Open Source Initiative, I would use that, since it is from an authoritative registry for open-source licenses, <http://opensource.org/licenses/alphabetical>.
