>          Issue Type: Task

> There have been several instances where the owners changed the license from ASF to a commercial license. A community who want to continue the project under the original ASF license then forked the project.
> This raises many detailed questions about how to license the forked work as an ASF project. The details of LICENSE, NOTICE, and source file headers are complex but it should be possible to be described in a form usable for future similar projects.
> Perhaps a new page linked from [https://www.apache.org/licenses/] with a description:
> ASF Licensing of forked works... Requirements for ASF projects forked from ASF-licensed works
