Open Source Apache License
Yes I'm writing you to inquire about distribution of said license to
unknowing parties/devices. Please correct me if I'm wrong, I do believe
that I read that is considered mis use of the license. This license has
been installed on multiple devices of mine on occasions usually with more
attached. They are using my private information, locking me out of my
internet, crashing my devices, copying my password, looking through my
history, sending packages to my phone, breaching my banks, credit, getting
my call and message, changing my passwords, forwaring my mail. with a lot
more damage. They are using some type business because my phone says to
speak to my administration I don't have one. Could you please help
correcting this issue please?
Thank you for your time

FYI A list moderator has for more than a decade taken on the
responsibility of ensuring non-subscribed posters receive a redirected
copy of answers where they were not cc'd. So Heather did get a copy of
Francis's reply.

I am sorry to hear you are having so much trouble with your devices.
However, this mailing list is not the right place to get help fixing those
problems. Let me explain why that is.
The Apache Software License is just a legal text that sets out the
conditions for using, copying, and modifying software. The license does not
do anything on your device. Many pieces of software are distributed under
the Apache License, so it would not be surprising to find its text or a
reference to the license on your device.
This mailing list is used by the developers of Apache OpenOffice, a product
distributed under the Apache License. OpenOffice, as released by this
organnization does not do any of the evil things you have experienced.
Though you do not mention OpenOffice in your message, I will say that if
you downloaded and installed OpenOffice from an unscrupulous source, it may
have been modified or other software might have been included in the
download so that malware was installed on your device. The official and
safe source for OpenOffice is https://www.openoffice.org/download/.
However the malware got on to your device, the people on this mailing list
had nothing to do with it and have no realistic way to help you. You are
right searching for expert help but this is not the right place. I am NOT
an expert in malware but I suspect you need to find a local person who can
work directly on you device to diagnose the problem.
Best regards,
Francis
