How to full fill the two license-requierments?

[Fredrik Andersson <fr...@hotmail.com>]

Hello Apache legal experts!
I have developed a application that uses the following apache libraries as dependencies:commons-lang 2.4log4j 1.2.14xmlbeans 2.4.0(I have not done any modifications to the apache libraries.)
To follow the license in the correct way I have understand that I must full fill these two requierments:
1) include a copy of the license in any redistribution you may make that includes Apache software;
2) provide clear attribution to The Apache Software Foundation for any distributions that include Apache software.
I build my application with maven (assembly:assembly) so my question is if it is correct to full fill these two requierments like this:
1) The license file LICENSE.txt is already packed inside my jar file, but I must edit it at:
Copyright [yyyy] [name of copyright owner]
To:
Copyright 2013 Fredrik Andersson
(Remark I have not register my self or request my self as a copyright owner, I guess that is not I must do?) 
2) There is already a file called NOTICE.txt packed inside my jar file that say that:"This product includes software developed by The Apache Software Foundation"
Is that all that I have to do?And now I can leagaly sell my application?
Best regardsFredrik

Our official and preferred name is "The Apache Software Foundation",
with this fix that's fine (and thanks for being willing to get this
right!).

I'm really not a specialist of that, but I would do the same.

Hello!Thanks for your reply!It was really helpfull!
Since my app got an user interface I will add some info-text in my about-popup!What do you think of this suggestion:"This application uses the following software from Apache Foundation:commons-lang 2.4..."
Btw is it correct that I do not have to register my self as a "copyright owner"?(Instead I just put my name and year in the LICENSE.txt inside my jar, that would make me a "copyright owner")

If your software is distributed as a library jar file, then yes a
NOTICE.txt file inside it is fair.

If your software has a user interface, giving credit to Apache in the
about box, documentation, i.e. wherever a user would notice it is
good.
