Documentation Guidelines

Hello,
I am developing the Help documentation for a tag library component the
company I work for is developing. In the documentation, I have listed all
the supported tags and would like to include descriptions of each; ideally,
the text for the descriptions would come from your site. I have checked your
site and see in the SLA that for development, we must include a notice
referencing Jakarta, but I wanted to make sure it was ok to also use the
documentation. 

Thanks for your help.

Here's the most relevant section of the license with regard to documentation:

  3. The end-user documentation included with the redistribution, if
     any, must include the following acknowledgement:
        "This product includes software developed by the
         Apache Software Foundation (http://www.apache.org/)."
     Alternately, this acknowledgement may appear in the software itself,
     if and wherever such third-party acknowledgements normally appear.

Please send future questions like this to licensing@apache.org.
