<p>Like other open source licenses, the Apache License explicitly allows you to copy and redistribute the covered product, without any license fees or royalties. But because it is a
permissive license, it also allows you to prepare and distribute derivative products, without requiring you to make your own source code public. So both BSA and SFLC/FSF risks
are eliminated, and the cost, to your business, of license compliance is greatly reduced.</p>
