RE: [IMPORTANT] What actions can the ASF take to enforce

[Shane Curcuru <sh...@yahoo.com>]

As already noted, several of the FAQ documents include links to copies
of the license.  Plus the fact that virtually all Apache projects
include a LICENSE or the like file in an obvious place inside the
project (which you presumably downloaded to see if you wanted to use
it) as well as the fact that most of the sources (certainly .java files
and many other doc sources as well) include the text of the license
inside of them.

Also, although you can view a master copy of the Apache Software
License, Version 1.1 (http://www.apache.org/LICENSE), you really need
to follow the actual license provided with the specific product you're
using, since there are currently subtle changes in many of them (mainly
the project names) and of course some projects may in the future use
newer versions of an Apache license.

(Thanks to the jakartaites who have the nifty 'Website Maintenance'
section, which I really like!  Sorry if we're a little behind in
improving the xml website... 8-)
