question about attribution
Hi,
I have a question concerning the attribution clause in version 2.0 of
the Apache License (or the lack thereof).
Am I correct when understanding that the explicit attribution clause of
1.1:
* 3. The end-user documentation included with the redistribution,
* if any, must include the following acknowledgment:
* "This product includes software developed by the
* Apache Software Foundation (http://www.apache.org/)."
* Alternately, this acknowledgment may appear in the software
itself,
* if and wherever such third-party acknowledgments normally appear.
has become superseded in 2.0 in a way that this acknowledgement should
now appear in the NOTICE file, which should be included in a
redistribution of an AL-2.0-licensed work?
</Steven>

Re: question about attribution
Posted by Jeffrey Thompson <jt...@us.ibm.com>.
Actually, as I read it the form of the notice is no longer specified.
What 2.0 does is make it explicit that you can't remove existing notices.
So, if an Apache project included a NOTICES file and included something
like the 1.1 notice in it, then subsequent users would have to carry that
forward.
