[jira] [Comment Edited] (LEGAL-95) Should our web sites have an
explicit "Terms of Use"?
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-95?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14540532#comment-14540532 ]

-------------------------------------------------------------
I think there are two steps here:
1) What are the Terms of Use for Apache websites. One possible answer is the simple: "Copyright © 2015 The Apache Software Foundation, Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0.". (I've ignored Trademark text as that's been handled previously, but possibly that's also 'Terms of Use').
2) Enact the Terms of Use on all websites, at the least on the tlp.apache.org/index.html page.
Is the possible answer listed in #1 the decided upon answer?

> I was recently asked about the terms of use/license of an ASF project's web site. I responded that the content was AL v2, but then spent a few seconds trying to provide proof of that statement. I wasn't successful... The content was copyright Apache Software Foundation, but there was no indication of the license for the content. I sampled a few projects and found varying results:
> Some sites were copyright the ASF and licensed under AL v2 (including www.apache.org). Other sites were simply copyright the ASF. Other sites had no copyright or license statement at all.
> Do we have guidelines describing what's expected/required of our projects? Should we set some guidelines?
