-That said, here's what the Apache license says in layman's terms:
-
-It **allows** you to:

-- freely download and use Apache software, in whole or in part, for
-personal, company internal, or commercial purposes;
-
-- use Apache software in packages or distributions that you create.
-
-It **forbids** you to:
-
-- redistribute any piece of Apache-originated software without proper

-
-- use any marks owned by The Apache Software Foundation in any way that
-might state or imply that the Foundation endorses your distribution;
-
-- use any marks owned by The Apache Software Foundation in any way that
-might state or imply that you created the Apache software in question.
-
-It **requires** you to:
-
-- include a copy of the [license](#License) in any redistribution you may
-make that includes Apache software;
-
-- provide clear attribution to The Apache Software Foundation for any
-distributions that include Apache software.
-
-It **does not require** you to:
-
-- include the source of the Apache software itself, or of any modifications
-you may have made to it, in any redistribution you may assemble that
-includes it;
-
-- submit changes that you make to the software back to the Apache Software
-Foundation (though such feedback *is* encouraged).
