[jira] [Commented] (LEGAL-536) License terms contradicts FAQ

["Craig L Russell (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-536?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17189799#comment-17189799 ] 

Craig L Russell commented on LEGAL-536:
---------------------------------------

I agree that the text should be changed on the license (several places on the Apache site and internal documents).

I also believe that a license with either the http:// or the https:// 

But we need to be sensitive to many external entities that compare third parties' licenses with the Apache license and a small change like this is likely to cause confusion.

First we need a plan to notify third parties about the change that we plan to make so they are not blindsided. 

Who in Apache is best able to make this notification?

> The license from https://apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.txt refers in the notice to "http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0" while the FAQ (http://www.apache.org/foundation/license-faq.html#Apply-My-Software) uses HTTPS. Can this be clarified and upated througout to HTTPS? Especially whether I am allowing the notice to carry HTTPS link although the original one does not?!
