ASL in non ASF code.
I'm not sure who to address this to, so I figured here would be as good a
place as any.
Are non-Apache open source projects, e.g. ant-contrib on sourceforge,
allowed to be licensed using the ASL?

Doesn't it need to accept the code?

They have to remove the apache pointers. Just the style should be
adapted.. and don't forget to remve the registered trademark from the
license :) (just call it trademark, unless you really registered it :)

As well as here
<http://ant-contrib.sourceforge.net/ant-contrib/manual/LICENSE.txt>
which in turn comes from manual/LICENSE.txt in their (OK, don't play
smart-ass, Stefan, our) ant-contrib CVS module.

I think ant-contrib uses a modified Apache Software License. It uses
the same terms but a different copyright holder.

I don't think this is possible and stems from confusion on "people"'s
side. Like people copying the (old) BSD license and requiring
redistributors to give credit to Berkeley.
